Chef Keller's landmark Napa Valley restaurant, The French Laundry, holds on to third place on our list for the second consecutive year. It also snared the No. 44 spot on The World's 100 Best Restaurants list.
Considered a mecca for foodies, the restaurant serves two nine-course tasting menus — a chef's tasting and a tasting of vegetables — that vary every day. No single ingredient is every repeated throughout the meal. For this indulgence, prepare to shell out $295.
