    I have to add Benu in San Francisco...a 3 star Michellin, every bit comparable to my French Laundry experience.

    Cantina in middletown CT is the best italian food in the U.S. It's the closest thing to having a Nonna cook for you if your not italian, and they have some great sicilian dishes. A few celebrity faces like Deniro show up from time to time, and there's no experience out there like it. Anyone from around there should go and try the pasta cantina and fried Mozz. It's absolutely to die for!

    Never "fancy," but certainly some of the best & freshest seafood on the planet. Plus? Those garlic rolls with passion fruit juice were to die for! :)

    Just was in NYC had dinner at Daniel and Per Se... have to say that Per Se was better again!

    Daniel experience was great but couple of the dishes on the tasing menu were just so so,
    abalone was very chewey, and the Squab was also very rubbery... I like it rare, but it was actualy hard to cut. but overall it was a great experience.

    Per Se - was just faultless. I could have stayed for ever, some of the best Foie Gras ever, and Chestnut gnocchi outstanding.

    Just hit this one up in Toronto.
    It was fantastic. What a nice surprise.

    If you go, eat upstairs and make sure you have reservations.

    Roasted Red Beets: Pistachio + Caraway + Labneh + Barbari Bread
    Lamb Ribs: Dukkah + Buttermilk Sauce + Carob Molasses + Red Chili Schug
    Steak Tartare: Chili Paste + Mint + Yogurt + Olive Oil + Barbari Bread
    Dry Aged Ribeye: Za’atar Butter + Smoked Eggplant
    Whole Boneless Branzino: Vine Leaf + Chemoula + Saffron Toum + Eggplant Pickle
    Turkish Manti Dumplings: Smokey Eggplant + Yogurt Sauce + Molasses

    Chocolate Mousse: Broken Baklava + Labneh
    Crispy Qatayef: Ashta Cream‏ + Honey Syrup+ Sumac Muddled Strawberry
    Brik Pastry Cigar: Fig Caramel‏ + Honey Cream
    Traditional Turkish Coffee

    So good. I cannot say enough good things. I will be going back soon!

    Aw yes! Foie gras!!!
    Went to the Little Door in L.A., quite good!

    Recently went to Bazaar Meats at the SLS Hotel in Vegas. Fantastic meat spread, everything was delectable.
    The Wagyu beef was to die for.

    Thank you Walter. I'll look into Rusticana, and keep the local vendors in mind.

    Ledbury was good, I enjoyed Fat Duck overall more however. Can't go wrong either way and two different experiences.

    If you're in Singapore check out Andre as well.

    True. Andre is very good as well. And so are Les Amis and Jaan (before Julien Royer left) in Singapore. I have not been to Fat Duck but Dinner by Heston Blumenthal in London was a major disappointment.

    Other favourites of mine are:

    Peter Luger (NYC)
    Kyubey (Tokyo)
    Nahm (Bangkok)
