Three other American restaurants landed on the organization’s “long list” of 100 for the first time: Chef’s Table at Brooklyn Fare; Benu, in San Francisco; and Cosme, in New York, one of the few restaurants on the list with a woman, Daniela Soto-Innes, in charge of the kitchen.

In April, Dominique Crenn was named World’s Best Female Chef, despite the fact that her San Francisco restaurant, Atelier Crenn, has never appeared on the list. The New York chef April Bloomfield cooked for the event, though she has so far been excluded.

The list of restaurants ranked 51 through 100 was announced last week. Both Per Se and the French Laundry showed up there, dropping their esteemed American chef, Thomas Keller, from the top 50. Three American restaurants fell off the list altogether: Coi, in San Francisco; and Masa and the NoMad, both in New York.

Since it began in 2002, the list has proved its power, making international stars of chefs like René Redzepi, Magnus Nilsson and Andoni Luis Aduriz, whose culinary innovations or remote locations (or both) would have once kept their restaurants from being internationally famous. It has become so popular (and profitable, with the opportunity for multiple sponsorships) that sub-lists — 50 Best Restaurants in Asia, 50 Best Restaurants in South America — have been established, with more to come.
