Yes, over the years I have looked at the list and just cant see much in it that agrees with my experience. I have been to a number of the places and they just dont have a ranking that fits my experience. I havent been to all of the ones I have visited in the same year so I cant account for year to year variability but I laughed when I saw 11 Madison ranked ahead of Alinea for instance. I could probably pick multiple restaurants in NY that arent even on the list that I would put ahead of 11 Madison. I dont dislike 11 Madison, its just that I dont see it being that highly ranked. I just dont take this list seriously although I do look for the occasional new place on it.
