My 5 favorite restaurants of 2010

And the dishes I remember best:

– Noho Star, New York. Apple eggs benedict. Google it, serious.
– Ramon Freixa, Madrid. Big duck. Duck hamburger with green mustard icecream and idiazabal cheese.
– Los Llanos, Albacete. The rice, all of it (and the fries). And the love.
– Per se, New York. All day braised salmon creek farm’s pork belly. Omg.
– Hotel 41, London. Breakfast. English breakfast.
