Napa Valley - Thomas Keller
Worshipped by foodies and adored by the press, Thomas Keller just might be the most revered chef in America today. His legendary French Laundry is a destination in itself, and by far the priciest restaurant on our list.
The French Laundry – $$$$ - Is it just the best restaurant in the US, or the best in the world? Using ingredients from the restaurant's very own garden, the menu changes every day, but past courses like Snake River Ranch "calotte de boeuf grillé," crispy bone marrow "bread pudding," Chanterelle mushrooms and Jacobsen's Farm black-eyed peas sound pretty awesome to us. And no, that price isn't a misprint.
Estimated Bill: $876.25
Bouchon - $$$ - You won`t get the French Laundry`s fifteen course menu or elite ingredients like caviar and foie gras, but Keller`s obsessive perfectionism and traditional French style still shine in dishes like roast chicken with onion confit, celeriac, and black truffle tartlet.
Estimated Bill: $193.52
