The business of the best in culinary arts is a competitive one. Foodies and celebrity chefs closely follow the leading guides of gastronomy: The coveted Michelin 3 Stars, are handed out rarely, France prefers its Gault Millau, Asia follows the newcomer Miele Guide, Italy has its Touring Club suggestions and America prefers the Iron Chef spectacle.
But all of these are topped by the annual presentation of "San Pellegrino World's 50 Best Restaurants."
The list is created from The World's 50 Best Restaurants Academy (organized by Restaurant magazine and funded by S.Pellegrino), an influential group of over 800 international leaders in the restaurant industry. The Academy comprises 26 separate regions around the world, and each region has its own panel of 31 members including a chairperson to head it up. The panel is made up of food critics, writers, chefs and 'gastronomes' each of whom have five votes. Members vote for five restaurants, at least two of which must be used to recognise restaurants outside of their region.
"And The Envelope Please!"
For 2010....the winner of the "Best Restaurant In The World"....is....
Noma, Copenhagen Denmark! El Bulli, a Spanish coast restaurants with a waiting list as long as its balance sheet, took the big fall to a number two position after a few years of being at the top. Blame it on thier current renovation. The third best in the world goes to The Fat Duck, located just West of London. Number Fifty (which is arguably is a great place to be too): Eleven Madison Park, New York, USA.
