the story of the rat who wanted to be a gourmet chef?
The French Laundry, arguably one of the best restaurants in the world. Say what? No, that’s not marketing hype. The French Laundry, at around $250 per person before wine, is considered by gourmets to be in the top 2 or 3 best restaurants on this planet. Located right in Yountville, make sure you book your reservation exactly 2 months in advance as it is always booked solid. Now if spending a thousand bucks for dinner for two is a bit much but you want to see what all the fuss is about, Thomas Keller also offers two other Yountville restaurants that are priced a bit closer to Earth. Bouchon is a French Bistro that’s fancy, but not too fancy, and Ad Hoc is family style dining famous for their fried chicken. What’s cool about Ad Hoc is that the menu changes daily – and everyone gets the same thing. Want to see what’s for dinner tonight? Go to Ad Hoc to see the menu.
