The new list tilts further toward the kind of tiny, tasting-menu-only restaurants where the cost of a meal often reaches $500 per person.
So it’s not really 50 of the best restaurants in objective terms.
yeah I want a top 50 for regular people that don’t spend $500 on a tiny meal.

While I’m sure there’s some level of quality to the ranking of a 1 year old ranking organization, these ranks are almost always completely useless in the face of reality because of the sample size and criteria.
JFK Airport patted itself on the back for earning the “best airport in America” award which anyone can tell you walking through JFK is like a ghetto warzone.
Similarly the game awards or the oscars choose many of their winners based on connections, sponsors, or market pressures. And many don’t even get nominated.
Was this determined by god or something?
Overall, Canada continued to overperform on the list, occupying 14 spots, including five of the top 10.
