Very directed towards an English speaking, primarily American, audience. Restaurants in America are crazy overrepresented, and Asia is barely covered even though it has one of the best food scenes in the world.

Maybe good if you never leave America or Europe (which is also underrepresented). But let’s get real here and call it what it is, a best of American restaurants list with random stuff thrown in from around the world.

I didn't read everything in this book, of course. But it was interesting to see where they are and what they offer. I wonder how many of them will still be in business in ten years. I've been to only one, Vedge in Philadelphia, and that was in 2013 on our way to Europe. I loved it, and there is a cook book published by Vedge with a lot of the recipes used there in case you can't go and see it yourself. The food was great. Only 1000 to go!
