If you missed it and you're a global eater, you might be interested to know that Zagat's fourth edition of the world's top restaurant has been released.

The guide includes "1,404 eateries in 58 major markets across Asia, Europe and North America, including brand new ratings and reviews for Athens, Barcelona, Florence, Lisbon, Madrid, Milan, Rome and Venice," Zagat says.

So what's the world's best restaurant? It's apparently a 23-way tie, which is how many restaurants scored a 29 on the Zagat scale. Take a guess which city is tied for most such restaurants. That's right: Chicago (Les Nomades, Alinea and Schwa). Take that, New York!

You can order the book here, but all the individual reviews are also on the Zagat web site.
