See, thing is though, I would've gone to the Carlton in 1928, 'cos it was Escoffier's menu, design, and receipts. Kinda the same thing. Keller may not be in the deeps of the kitchen anymore, but it's still his baby. Though I'd just as soon go to Bouchon, for that matter - less high-falutin', same executive chef.
I'd be the same about the opportunity to go to El Bulli, though, truth be told.
