The French Laundry in Yountville, CA
In the Muslim world, Mecca is the center of religious life,
and once in a Muslim's life, he or she must make the pilgrimage, the haj
to Mecca. Well, for a foodie, Mecca is the French Laundry and I've
been on my haj. This is a place where you can only call two
months in advance to the date of the reservation, you have to start calling
as soon as the reservation line opens in the morning, and after 35 minutes
of busy signals, you might be able to get a reservation at some time of the
day (just don't count on the time you want). But trust me, it's worth
it.
