Yahoo: Anti-World's 50 Best Restaurants event being mobilized for next year
Nov. 25, 2017
A new anti-World's 50 Best Restaurants is being organized to counter what's described as the "arbitrary pop chart approach" of one of the most influential rankings in the world of high gastronomy.
Set to launch next spring -- around the same time that the World's 50 Best Restaurants awards are normally held -- another event with a conspicuously similar name, The World Restaurant Awards, will make its debut, this time in Paris.
In a clear dig at the event created by the UK-based industry publication Restaurant magazine, organizers of The World Restaurant Awards describe their version as a return to the traditional idea of categories judged with "robust integrity."
"With the highest production values The World Restaurant Awards will be so much more than an invitation-only, glossy event for industry insiders," reads the website.
"It will be packaged for general consumption as a must-watch broadcast for a restaurant-hungry public, one that's increasingly obsessed with eating, drinking and travel."
