Some events are by invitation only but others have a ticket with dinner option open to the public. They are usually quite expensive as they are generally held in larger hotels. It depends where you live, in the UK we have magazines for the catering trade and they are usually the best places to look for such events. Hope this helps. Kind regards Miles Hi Christian,

I would suspect an element of bias does come into it, every one of Robuchons latest venture is featured whilst a number of European three star restaurants do not. Much of this comes down to an interesting debate, when I ate at Guy Savoy I had sixteen inceredible dishes, nothing cutting edge or scientific but just the best ingredients cooked under the eye of a great chef (who was there on both occasions, ten years apart incidentally) On the other hand you have chefs cooking incredibly complicated dishes with food matches one would never dream up, but how good does it taste. I have read some very mixed reports of certain dishes, so is it art for arts sake? Personally I would go for the overall dining experience at Guy Savoy because hot jellies, parmesan air and the like don't really do it for me on a purely eating level. I do have absolute respect for what they are doing and why they do it but I wouldn't choose to pay for it. Rod,

Is there a 'political' element involved in the compiling of it - as you say, no Guy Savoy ! MIles
