Early Returns on New Dining Survey Not So Favorable
Regarding rating restaurants - I personally did not rate any restaurant I haven't dined at within the last 3 years or so. What's the point of rating my meal at Troisgros when I dined there 20 years ago? FWIW - we were never told that our ratings would be weighted by the number of places we reviewed. If that were the case - I could have rated dozens. But again - what would be the point of rating a place where I dined from the 1970's through the 1990's? RobynG
Early Returns on New Dining Survey Not So Favorable
The simple fact of the matter is that out of these 900 participants - a sufficient number hadn't dined at Dieter Muller or Vendome in Germany (both 3 star Michelin) to warrant inclusion in the guide. I fought hard to get them included - even if I was the only participant who had dined there - but I lost. So DM and Vendome are excluded - and Joe's Stone Crabs is in. RobynG

Finally - I don't disagree with Steve about everything. We agree about Mr. Bruni. I dined at Michael's Genuine in Miami this week - Mr. Bruni's 4th or 5th best new restaurant of the year. Left me scratching my head. It's not a bad place - it's quite ok. But almost the best new restaurant in the US? Was about on a par - give or take a bit - with Bistro Aix here in Jacksonville FL (near where I live) - which serves similar food. Bistro Aix is a great Jacksonville restaurant - but I don't think anyone would confuse it with one of the best restaurants in the country. RobynG
