I worked at one of the greatest restaurants in the world (and on their list) and can tell you this list is total crap.
As an parallel example, I am a professor of neurology in a major medical school, so obviously I know my stuff in this field. Every year the US and World Report publishes a list of the best doctors. Their list of best neurologists is always a joke. They once cited my buddy as the best MS doctor in the country and I really gave him a hard time over this. He had no idea why this magazine picked him.
The point I am trying to make is that great restaurants and neurology are extremely complicated issues which require years of the correct education to master.
