The 2014 list of the World’s 50 Best Restaurants has just been announced, so if you came here to hear about comics or science fiction (or even the ukulele), forgive me.

I’ve dined at four of winners, the same four I ate at from last year’s list, only instead of coming in at 5, 9, 14, and 15, those restaurants are now at 4, 9, 16, and 18.

I’ll be adding a fifth restaurant to my personal list during my August trip to the London Worldcon, because I already have reservations at #5 below—Dinner by Heston Blumenthal. And who knows? If Fate smiles upon me, I might get in to the Fat Duck (#47) as well.
