If it seemed like that, it's because it probably was, but not on my part. It wasn't a rant or gripe of any sort, but just a quick rattling off of the basics of what it would take to be "recognized" as an
institution of culinary dynamics, innovation, and preparation, otherwise referred to as a "restaurant mecca".
Charlatan has expanded upon my initial premise, but was what I listed all that farfetched (save for the repetition of 'location')? I don't think I said anything disparaging or with illusionary details in my initial post, however short it was. And for those that still may not think that the locations are not key in actually landing on a list like this, the average population of each city's day-to-day business in the above listing is, cumulatively, just under ~8 million unique residents; furthermore, just over 1/4 of the restaurants named (16-17) are either actually within, or immediately outside city limits of a country's capital city (or in the case of three, they are within
former capital cities, namely NYC).
