World's best restaurant for 2025 revealed
And the world's best restaurant for 2025 is ... Maido! This Lima restaurant combines Japanese techniques and Peruvian ingredients into rarefied cuisine that follows a seasonal menu. (Maido via CNN Newsource) It looks like Lima is going to be welcoming a lot of fine-dining fans in the coming months. Two restaurants in the Peruvian capital landed in the top 10 on the 2025 list of the 'World's 50 Best Restaurants,' including the coveted number one spot. The awards — considered the Oscars of innovative fine dining — were handed out at a ceremony in Turin, Italy on Thursday night, with Lima's Maido walking away with the top prize. Ranked number five on last year's list, it's owned and run by chef Mitsuharu 'Micha' Tsumura. Maido serves what's known as Nikkei cuisine, 'blending meticulous Japanese techniques with vibrant Peruvian ingredients to create a dining experience that is both culturally rich and innovatively modern' according to the 50 Best organization. 'This is going to be 16 years of Maido,' said Tsumura while accepting the award. 'I think gastronomy — food and hospitality — can do amazing things. They can make dreams come true.' Coming in second was Asador Etxebarri in Atxondo, Spain, while Mexico City's Quintonil snagged third place, followed by Diverxo in Madrid (No.4) and Copenhagen's Alchemist rounding out the top five. Moving to Asia, Bangkok emerged as the big winner of the night, with six restaurants making the top 50 list, including Gaggan at number six.

Ninth place went to Kjolle in Lima, with fellow South American restaurant Don Julio in Buenos Aires holding onto the tenth spot — exactly where it landed last year. The only U.S. restaurant to make the top 50 list was New York's Atomix, at number 12, which also walked away with the award for 'Outstanding Hospitality' at the recent James Beard Awards. Meanwhile, the Thai capital also saw the highest new entry in the top 50 — Bangkok restaurant Potong snagged the 13th spot this year in its inaugural appearance on the list. Opened in 2021 in the city's Chinatown area by chef Pichaya 'Pam' Soontornyanakij, it's set in a five-story historic building that, from 1910, housed the family's Chinese herbal medicine business. Potong's innovative tasting menu, featuring Thai-Chinese cuisine, has earned it fast fans and a Michelin star. London restaurant Ikoyi secured the highest climber award by moving up 27 spots from the 2024 list to land at number 15 this year. Serving what 50 Best refers to as 'category free cuisine' it scooped the the One To Watch prize in 2021. Ikoyi has since moved to London's The Strand, where diners can enjoy its signature dish —smoked jollof rice — from a menu inspired by sub-Saharan West Africa. The top 50 The annual list is compiled based on the votes of the World's 50 Best Restaurants Academy, which is made up of 1,080 international restaurant industry experts including food writers and chefs, in 27 regions around the world. Restaurants can only win the top prize once, after which they're entered into a separate 'Best of the Best' program. Members of that elite group include Geranium and Noma in Copenhagen, as well as New York's Eleven Madison Park, The Fat Duck near London, Osteria Francescana in Modena, Italy, Mirazur in Menton, France and Central of Lima. Last year's '50 Best Restaurants' winner, Barcelona's Disfrutar, is also now on that list. 1. Maido (Lima, Peru) 2. Asador Etxebarri (Atxondo, Spain) 3. Quintonil (Mexico City, Mexico) 4.

Anne Burrell, TV chef and coach on 'Worst Cooks in America,' dies at 55
TV chef Anne Burrell, who coached culinary fumblers through hundreds of episodes of Worst Cooks in America, died Tuesday at her New York home. She was 55. The Food Network, where Burrell began her two-decade television career on Iron Chef America and went on to other shows, confirmed her death. The cause was not immediately clear, and medical examiners were set to conduct an autopsy. Police were called to her address before 8 a.m. Tuesday and found an unresponsive woman who was soon pronounced dead. The police department did not release the woman's name, but records show it was Burrell's address. Burrell was on TV screens as recently as April, making chicken Milanese cutlets topped with escarole salad in one of her many appearances on NBC's Today show. She faced off against other top chefs on the Food Network's House of Knives earlier in the spring. "Anne was a remarkable person and culinary talent — teaching, competing and always sharing the importance of food in her life and the joy that a delicious meal can bring," the network said in a statement. Known for her bold and flavorful but not overly fancy dishes, and for her spiky platinum-blonde hairdo, Burrell and various co-hosts on Worst Cooks in America led teams of kitchen-challenged people through a crash course in savoury self-improvement. On the first show in 2010, contestants presented such unlikely personal specialities as cayenne pepper and peanut butter on cod, and penne pasta with sauce, cheese, olives and pineapple. The accomplished chefs had to taste the dishes to evaluate them, and it was torturous, Burrell confessed in an interview with The Tampa Tribune at the time. Still, Burrell persisted through 27 seasons, making her last appearance in 2024. "If people want to learn, I absolutely love to teach them," she said on ABC's Good Morning America in 2020. "It's just them breaking bad habits and getting out of their own way." 'Cooking is fun' Burrell was born Sept. 21, 1969, in the central New York town of Cazenovia, where her parents ran a flower store. She earned an English and communications degree from Canisius University and went on to a job as a headhunter but hated it, she said in a 2008 interview with The Post-Standard of Syracuse. Having always loved cooking, she soon enrolled in the Culinary Institute of America, where she later taught. She graduated in 1996, spent a year at an Italian culinary school and then worked in upscale New York City restaurants for a time. "Anytime Anne Burrell gets near hot oil, I want to be around," Frank Bruni, then-food critic at the New York Times, enthused in a 2007 review. By the next year, Burrell was hosting her own Food Network show, Secrets of a Restaurant Chef, and her TV work became a focus. Over the years she also wrote two cookbooks, Cook Like a Rock Star and Own Your Kitchen: Recipes to Inspire and Empower, and was involved with food pantries, juvenile diabetes awareness campaigns and other charities. Burrell's own tastes, she said, ran simple. She told The Post-Standard her favourite food was bacon and her favourite meal was her mother's tuna sandwich. "Cooking is fun," she said. "It doesn't have to be scary. It's creating something nurturing." Survivors include her husband, Stuart Claxton, whom she married in 2021, and his son, her mother and her two siblings. "Anne's light radiated far beyond those she knew, touching millions across the world," the family said in a statement released by the Food Network.
