As TonyC would say, F*** that noise.

The selection process is biased towards the bloviated jetset London-based bankers.

F’n that noise aside, if you could put one LA restaurant on there, which would you put and at around what number?

5

No French Laundry?

6

Good question. You should run for president or something.

But back to an answer to your question. n/naka.

7

You can be VP because that was going to be my answer as well.

8

All Thomas Keller restaurants took a beating this year. None of his places rank in the Top 50.
