The list isn't going anywhere, but that doesn't mean we have to take it seriously, from restofesto .
list, announced this week in London, you might assume that we live in a very small world. Over half of the top 20 best restaurants are European, including Geranium, which succeeded another Danish restaurant, Noma, as the world’s #1.
The global awards are considered to be one of the most prestigious in the world of food, and as a publication, Bon Appétit will probably continue to cover it [editor’s note: we will]. But here’s my proposal: Let’s start treating the 50 Best List like food media’s rich, out-of-touch uncle.
The prix fixe at Copenhagen’s Geranium, is a modest $437 per person—a drop in the bucket for Rich Uncle, a small price to pay for the privilege of loading up his iPhone with fancy food porn to impress all his jetsetting friends.We’re all so accustomed by now to awkwardly sitting around the table while Rich Uncle shows us endless pics of dehydrated insects made into gelato and microscopic pieces of smoked ostrich saddle set atop mossy tree stumps.
And don’t worry, Rich Uncle knows that women are capable of cooking in fancy restaurants, too. That’s why he created a separate award for the World’s Best Female Chef. Please don’tthis year’s Best Female Chef Leonor Espinosa De La Ossa’s restaurant, Leo in Bogota, Colombia, barely cracked the Top 50 list at #48.
Ranking restaurants is subjective, and we can’t all agree with Rich Uncle’s taste. I’ve personally had the pleasure of dining at the #14 ranked restaurant in the world, Don Julio—an excellent legacy steakhouse in Buenos Aires that, with all due respect, may very well not even be the best restaurant in its own city.
