My guide in Norway was chef Christopher Haatuft, who helped put New Nordic cuisine on the map with his trailblazing Bergen restaurant Lysverket. My meal there was incredible.

I saw that you were in Austin, TX this weekend. And you had one of the great dining spots in all the United States: Franklin's Barbecue. You ate all this stuff? Noo, no. That was incredible, you know that, seriously.

In the U.S., I recently visited Michel Richard's Citronelle, which was fantastic.

What restaurants do you like to eat at other than your own? I love Nobu and Chez Bruce in London.
