Massimo Bottura’s Osteria Francescana takes the reins again, switching spot with now no. 4 Eleven Madison Park. Blue Hill slipped a spot to no. 12, but Chef Dan Barber took home the Chef’s Choice Award. Cosme and Le Bernardin both made the list at no.25 and 26. However, my biggest disappointment to the authority of Best 50 list is, Dominique Crenn’s Atelier Crenn’s absence. In my opinion, Crenn very much deserves a spot in the top 25!
