Up two spots from last year, St. John is ranked at position number 14 in S. Pellegrino’s 2009 World’s 50 Best Restaurants List.
Congrats to Mr. Henderson and the world class crew at St. John!
There is also a great article up at The Independent about Mr. Henderson cooking for the top 50 chefs at St. John. Isn’t it interesting how some of the greatest chefs of our time like to dig into a plate of offal?
What do you feed the 50 greatest chefs in the world? The answer, according to a top London chef, will be staring them in the face. As the greatest culinary minds, with palates to match, gather for the 2009 World’s 50 Best Restaurants awards on Tuesday, Fergus Henderson will be putting the finishing touches to his signature dish: pig’s head and potato pie.

I had the opportunity last weekend to eat at St. John Bread and Wine (The main restaurant was booked solid) and it was a fantastic experience. I’ll be doing a post shortly, if you want to come check it out.
