How can Mugaritz be the third best restaurant in the world when it's not even the third best restaurant in its city?

[buttertart]

Interesting that Per Se ranks so far above the French Laundry in the 50.

[smartie]

glad to see in 3 in the UK so now can everybody shut up about English food???

Nothing in the US outside of NYC? Oh, wait one in Chicago. OK

No doubt Harters hit the nail on the head, lots of controversy to follow.

[drongo]

There'll be controversy only if we take the bait. LOL.

and 3 (I believe) in California.

[KaimukiMan]

in the 50, not in the 20.

interesting that 2 of the three in CA are not in a major city, although not far away either.

[Harters]

As always with the SP awards, there'll be lots of contraversy in these ratings.

[DougRisk]

Not one Japanese restaurant.

[Harters]

Apart from the ones at 27 & 28.

I think DougRisk was just commenting on the abbreviated Telegraph list. It's are to cite numbers 27 & 28 on a list of 20.

[DougRisk]

Yup, I confused the two lists. Thanks. On the other thread, I had said that Chow had deleted my comment when it was here all along.
