the french laundry is not in San Francisco... it is in Napa...

speaking of... Morimoto is opening a new restaurant in Napa ...and his restaurant Morimoto in NYC should be on this list... oh well.
Speaking of NYC, you left of Momofuku ... at #26.



Haven't been to any of those, I have been to Charlie Trotters (Chicago) though which used to always be on the list, as well as Commander's Palace (New Orleans) when it used to be on the list.
I've been to the Bouchon Bakery though... (keller owns it) and it is pretty damn good... can't really afford the rest.

WOW New York!

Out of these, I've been to Daniel, Le Bernardin, Per Se, French Laundry....and NYC's Momofuku (which the OP left off the the list at #26).

I used to order desert from Momofoku's Milk Bar online when I was in NYC and other places in America...mmmmmmmm, delicious.

Hmm, putting the name aside, I suppose it's worth a try! I mean I am a food fanatic, I can't judge a place off of it's name. But that's still the WEIRDEST name for a restaurant. Makes it seem like it's some laundromat in some French dominated neighborhood of San Francisco.

The food is heaven on earth-I mean really the best. If your ever in the Napa Valley, its a must.

After his world famous success at The French Laundry, Chef Thomas Keller returned to New York and opened Per Se, which is among the best of the best in NYC, and that is no small fete.

It's definitely something that I'm looking forward to trying out.
