But Daniel at #8?

I will always love Le Bernardin at the first 'nice' restaurant I ever went to as an 'adult' and on my own dime.

L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon down 14? I was there over Thanksgiving and I can't imagine the 'drop'.

And while I haven't been to Tetsuya's in a few years, and I was there when this list regarded it as top 5 material... is it really no longer tops in Sydney?

But - yes - this list is silly. And poltiical. And wrong in many dimensions. But it's still an attempt, no matter how flawed, to highlight some of the very best that's out there.
