Commenting upon your second query: "What do you think makes it one of the world's best restaurants?"
Location. Location. Ambiance. Exorbitant Prices. Location. Staff & Cooks. Clientele. Location. & Location.

How can you have a thread about "Food as Art" and not mention food ONCE in that whole rant? I know for a fact that a lot of restaurants are praised by food critics, foodies, and food bloggers the world over. I know Chef Eric Ripert did not get his three Michelin-Stars for just being in the right place in NY and having huge prices on his menu. His food is praised the world over for how good it is.
This surprises me Jetee, I figured you for someone that saw food as something more than just something to fill your belly.

QFT. You just have to have an open mind about what the chef is feeding you and a willingness to try anything they put in front of you. Even someone raised on nothing but fast food can see the difference between the food on the restaurants on this list and Waffle House.
Also, I want a +4 fork and knife set... all I got his this +2 carrot peeler.
