El Bulli — the
best restaurant in the world — is like, be sure to check out
this account. It describes the four hour, once in a lifetime, too many courses to count dining experience. — Boarding Area via

Every year San Pellegrino and Restaurant magazine releases a list of the
50 best restaurants in the world. The list is put together by The Nespresso World's 50 Best Academy, a group that consists of over 650 chefs, restauranteurs, food writers and critics. There is no list of nominees, each member of the voting panel votes for their favorite five restaurants.
Last night Restaurant Magazine announced their annual list of the
world's 50 best restaurants and I am ridiculously embarrassed to say that even though two of them are really close by (
Chez Panisse and the
French Laundry), I have not been to any of the ones on the list. While I go hang my head in foodie shame, you can check out the list. Oh and it's worth noting that the top 6 are the same as last year and there are only 5 new entries and one that has re-entered.
