NEW YORK: NO UPSCALE ITALIANS IN THE BEST NYT 100 RESTAURANTS IS IT ONLY THE GLOBAL “TALL POPPY SYNDROME” OF MEDIA AND GUIDES? The global, (apparently) inexplicable, bias against good Italian restaurants continues. Veteran food writer john mariani is stunned to see that “upscale Italian restaurants are totally absent”  in The New York Times 2024 100 BEST RESTAURANTS IN NYC. He points out that his author, Pete Wells, is “head-over-heels about Peruvian and Korean restaurants”. How can one not be surprised anyway? There are hundreds (if not thousand) of highly popular Italian eateries in NYC and at least 50 of them are of an upscale level. For the NYT is the African restaurant Tatiana by Kwame Onwuachi the number one in town, and for a second year in a row. That is, a place in which only a few lucky thousands can eat annually - it’s impossible to find a spot for months -, while instead the millions eat elsewhere (Wells ignores steakhouses as well and scarcely mentions Chinese). If ever there was a need, this is another death certificate of the guidance role of the guides. Narratives over reality, which means the triumph of impartiality, that is, vested interests. Let’s hope that is only a tall poppy syndrome that is affecting media and guides when they deal with the Italian restaurant industry worldwide. In Australia, "cutting down the tall poppy” is used when people (or business) are criticized (and penalized)  for being too successful, what in Japan is known as "the nail that sticks up gets hammered down".  And what about the proven recalcitrance of the Michelin guide towards Italian restaurants worldwide, especially in Asia? and the impaired vision of the Best 50/100 (follow the money there though, to understand the reasons)? And the revulsion of marketing advisors in Dubai (no Italian restaurants in the two Atlantis resorts, some of the best in town)?

Globally beloved Restaurant Jordnær in Copenhagen featured amongst others by Der Spiegel in a giant piece into the world of the best restaurants on the planet and the accolades and rankings that competes for our attention in trying to define who those are. Der Spiegel isn’t just any next magazine on the shelves. Since 1947 it has been known in German-speaking countries for its investigative journalism. It has played a key role in uncovering many political scandals and according to The Economist, Der Spiegel is one of Europe’s most influential magazines. So if you enjoy a very deep dive into culinary matters I recommend you to find your way behind the paywall. A small take out from the article: (translated from German): “All of these restaurants are represented in all rankings, just in different positions. Depending on the system, enjoyment is placed on the winner’s podium differently. Some food addicts have developed a passion for comparing the annual lists and looking for up-and-comers. In the end, all guides and rankings as a whole paint a picture of the mood of the scene. That’s why connoisseurs are drawn to Jordnær in Copenhagen. In the elegant, whitewashed framework, host Tina Kragh Vildgaard turns over the records while her husband Eric stands behind the stove. According to “La Liste”, Jordnær (97.50 points) is one of the fifth best restaurants in the world with 42 others. It is rated two stars in the Michelin Guide. Still. There is already speculation on the scene about the possible third star. That’s certainly not absurd, but in gourmet circles it’s a bit like football: just like millions of national coaches in Germany, there are millions of Michelin inspectors in the world, and everyone knows better. “I don’t think there can be a best restaurant in the world. The rankings are all important in their own right, but they also compare restaurants that cannot be compared,” says Vildgaard. Der Spiegel: “Wie schmeckt es im besten Restaurant der Welt?” https://lnkd.in/dEDPt9gE @spiegelmagazin

Beat the heat... or epic fail? Weather can be a fickle beast, so it's hard to beat for sure. But, mom & I were set on eating on the patio in the Idyllwild pine trees at mom's favorite restaurant La Casita's Mexican Restaurant. Follow Offbeatopia on Instagram & YouTube for more hidden gems within a road trip of southern California. La Casita Mexican Restaurant in Idyllwild is a popular spot known for its authentic Mexican cuisine and warm, inviting atmosphere. One of its standout features is their famous jalapeño salsa, which is often praised for its bold flavors and spicy kick. It is so smooth and creamy which just two ingredients as I recall, jalepeños and olive oil. Many visitors rave about this salsa, noting its fresh ingredients and how well it complements dishes like tacos, enchiladas, and chips. If you're a fan of spicy food, it's definitely a must-try when dining at La Casita! If you're even in Idyllwild, check out La Casita's patio dining in the pines and their epic signature jalepeño salsa. Note: average lunch prices or at least the cheaper ones are $17-20/plate, so it's a little on the pricey side in our opinion, but if you get to eat on the patio, you can consider that the cost of ambience. Comment if you think that is high priced for lunch (cheapest items on the menu) or if I just am incredibly cheap nowadays. haha #idyllwild #california #roadtrip #vacation #lacasitasmexicanrestaurant #usa #unitedstates #sandiego #losangeles #riversidecountry #fyp #ugccreator #ugcpartnership #viralreels #trendingaudio #explorepage #budgettravel #traveltips #mexicanfood
