To anyone familiar with Bourdain and his books and TV show, this list won't come as a huge surprise. It's no secret that he's a huge fan of Thomas Keller, whose Per Se and the French Laundry are both on this list, or that he has had many a spectacular meal in Asia, as evidenced by his inclusion of Singapore's Sin Huat Eating House and the aforementioned Sukiyabashi Jiro. And, as many a vegetarian knows all too well, Bourdain never met an animal he didn't eat, so such high and low meat havens as Katz's Delicatessen and St. John make plenty of sense here.
