The World's Most Impressive Dishes

I'm obsessed with watching Anthony Bourdain shows every single night. CB and I don't watch that many shows religiously, we more have a handful of the same crap that we watch over and over... like Jeopardy, Million Dollar Listings NY and of course, Anthony Bourdain. If it were up to CB, we'd be watching what the rest of the world was watching -- Game of Thrones -- but alas, my tiny little brain can't handle the insanely complicated plot and cast of characters presented by GOT. 

So, we watch Rangers Baseball, then turn it on Bourdain. 

He is always eating some crazy food, but unless it is burn your face off spicy, I tell CB that I'd be on board to give it a go. 

Being the experienced foodie that I am (because I watch Bourdain, duh) I was intrigued when I saw this Thrillist article highlighting a few of the World's Top 50 Restaurants.

I opened it, scrolled all the way through and go... "WTF IS THIS CRAP?"

Take number 5 for example, Noma || Copenhagen, Denmark. 
A FLOWER PIE. WTF. 













Bourdain actually eats at this restaurant, Noma,  in one of the episodes of Parts Unknown, but I can't say I remember any flower pies. This is a pile of flowers. Am I missing something? If I ate a pile of flowers, I wouldn't then turn around and be like... HEY BEST NEW RESTAURANT, PEEPS! Highly recommend you splurge and over-indulge on the flower pie! 

On a budget? Can't get to Denmark? Try sampling the flower petals at trader joes in your hood. 

I'm just hating, I shouldn't knock flower pie until I try it. 

I just can't help but think that if I crafted my own list of 50 best restaurants + my favorite dish at each place, it would look a bit different....

Let's start with the top 20

There you go, that's a far more impressive top 20 list than that silly World's-best-you-can't-eat-with-us restaurant list! IMO.

What would you add to the list??!?
What would be your number 1 if you made your own top 20 list?!?!?!
