Luxury dining: when degustation becomes punishment for a glutton? The New York Times reports on the latest World's 50 Best Restaurants list: "When it comes to parsing the annual dining survey known as The World’s 50 Best Restaurants, though, you really have to open your mind. Forget asking whether these establishments are the best in the world. The bigger question is: Are they restaurants?" 🤔 But wait, doesn't it say restaurants in the title of the list itself? Ah, that depends on one's definition of the same now, doesn't it? "Now, among the 50 Best are a number of establishments where they let you see a menu written in real words and order things you actually want to eat. Some of these, like Asador Etxebarri in Spain and Schloss Schauenstein in Switzerland, are hard to reach. Nearly all are very expensive. Still, there are places on the list where a relatively normal person might eat a relatively normal dinner and go home feeling relatively well-fed. But the list is dominated by places that normal people can’t get into, where the few diners who will go to almost any length for reservations will go home feeling bloated and drunk. They are not restaurants, or not just restaurants. They are endurance tests, theatrical spectacles, monuments to ego and — the two most frightening words in dining — “immersive experiences.”" This is ironic given the origin of the list: "The World’s 50 Best Restaurants and its spinoff awards, by now almost too numerous to count, weren’t always so rarefied. In the early years, when the list was being published by Restaurants magazine, the editors saw it as a kind of anti-Michelin, and took pride in recognizing spots that would never, ever make Michelin’s little red guidebooks." Oh well, resisting the Degustation Borg is futile: "Today the list is dominated by tasting-menu restaurants, and every year those menus seem to get longer and more unforgiving. There are more courses than any rational person would choose to eat, and more tastes of more wines than anyone can possibly remember the next day. The spiraling, metastasizing length of these meals seems designed to convince you that there’s just no way a mere 10 or 15 courses could contain all the genius in the kitchen." Which raises the question, are you paying for a meal or investing in your cardiologist's/hepatologist's retirement home? A while ago, Bloomberg reported (https://lnkd.in/gXaZNqua): "The hospitality industry is increasingly focused on high-net-worth individuals." The result? "Now, the most democratic of luxuries is once again becoming the province of the new elite." Perhaps one of the most amusing examples? Gaia, London as reviewed in The Guardian (https://lnkd.in/gjXS8rmp): "The prices force me to call Rex Goldsmith of the renowned Chelsea Fishmonger. He tells me his kilo price for mackerel is £12.50. I tell him at Gaia it’s £100. Rex gasps. “Christ,” he says. “At that price the fish should give you a blowjob.”" https://lnkd.in/gWj_zM-A

It is close to the final weekend before the revelation of this year’s Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants list, which will see chefs and the F&B community in the region congregate in Seoul for the much-anticipated reveal next Tuesday. While questions have been raised over The World's 50 Best Restaurants' voting methods over the years, the accolade remains one of the more highly regarded ones in the industry - judging from the hubbub of chefs, restaurateurs, publicists and press that flock to the award ceremonies and the buzzy after-parties. Besides the Michelin Guide and 50 Best, a crop of dining awards have arrived in Singapore. Newer Euro-centric dining lists like La Liste, 50 Top Italy, Gambero Rosso are making inroads in Asia in recent years, and there is also Black Pearl List by Meituan-Dianping that is referred to by Chinese tourists. Is it a case of ‘too many cooks spoiling the soup?’ when it comes to recognising excellence in the dining industry and do chefs and restaurants see any tangible impact on business and visibility to local and overseas diners or is it just another plaque to add to one’s wall of fame? This dining feature in the March issue of The Peak Singapore by Grace Ma looks at the impact of dining awards to chefs, restaurants and gourmands and how they navigate an increasingly crowded space. Thanks Lik Peng Loh, Daniele Sperindio, Emmanuel Stroobant, Cheung Siu Kong, Denis Lucchi, Helene Pietrini, Lorenzo Ruggeri, Ian Goh, Damian D' Silva, Veronica Phua and Leon Chua for sharing your insights!
