This is a silly question considering 99.99999% of the people on this board have never even eaten at all of the restaurants in the world.

From several interviews from famous chefs, a name consistently brought up is Mario Batali.
That man can cook like no other.

I'd say BlackenedOut has eaten at the most prestigious restaurants all over out of anyone on the FDB and it's not even close.

Tiger Attorney and coolpapa are probably close if not ahead of him...

That's why I said it's hard to make the criteria up for "best." Redzepi is absolutely pushing cuisine to a new level and transforming cooking and what we consider food (similar to Ferran Adria). I agree that he's a far cry from comfort food, though, not that I've ever tasted anything he makes.
His restaurant has won best restaurant in the world 4 out of the past 5 years (and placed second in 2013), and that's from people who HAVE eaten at many of the best restaurants in the world.
But yeah, it's a silly argument to have unless we set parameters. One thing that I dislike these days with celebrity chefs (and I think this trend was started by Wolfgang Puck) is the franchising of their restaurants. Thomas Keller has done it. Mario Batali has done it. Daniel Boulud has done it. David Chang has done it (though at least he limits his establishments to NYC). For some reason, it seems that they become more of a businessman than a pure chef once they start making multiple locations like that. All that being said, I've eaten at restaurants by all four of the people listed above, and they're all spectacular.

I think it's a bit too general of a question, as in good at what, etc, but seriously, 3 pages, and not one mention of this evil genius?

The first time I went to NYC, the first thing I did once I checked in at the Hudson was walk to Ma Peche, eat some pork buns, then get a ton of desserts from Milk Bar and walked to Central Park to eat them. It was pretty awesome.

I could turn her...
Sorta "bang the gay away" kinda thing. We'd create a mess in the kitchen.

That's quite a visual you created there, little lady.

Redzepi? You have to be joking. Foraged wild herbs and burnt carrots? I'll pass.
Better question is, which chef if you could only pick one, would you want to cook every meal for you for the rest of your life. Redzepi doesnt make anyone's list under that criteria.

Tiger attorney and coolpapa have me beat. I've been on hiatus from professional eating, sadly.
And winning the best restaurant 4 times, and using that as proof that one chef is better is dumb. Lots of great chefs will never sniff that award. And by the way, the voters don't actually have to eat at a restaurant to vote for it
