Have been to about a quarter of the 100 restaurants listed but some were visited quite a few years ago and the type of food served might not even be the same anymore. But out of all the ones I have been to, these deserve a special mention:

Eleven Madison Park: introduced by its sommelier to German Riesling which is one of my favorite wines

Alinea: was there when they used to have the grand tour which was around 26 dishes. We did it with wine pairing as well. Great and fanciful food though can't believe how long it was

French Laundry/Per Se: best experience with Thomas Keller was when he did a pop up at Mandarin Oriental HK. He not only brought ingredients and front of house, he was actually in the kitchen himself

Etxebarri: probably my fav on the list. Simple grilling perfection!

41 Grados: best cocktail in my life! Bartender managed to create 2 different cocktails to match my dessert

I do have real issues with the list though. The low number of restaurants from Japan is laughable. Done properly, at least a quarter of the list should be from Japan.
