Tallying
the Toques
FOOD RATINGS
A
toque is a chef's hat—a symbol of what they do best. To us, it's our way of
organizing our food ratings to provide you with
a quick reference for each of the many markets
we cover around the world. If your favorites didn't
make our Top
40 list, you can see how they fared. Keep
in mind that our 20-point
rating scale focuses on the quality of the
food. |
