Keller is awesome. The French Laundry is only 30min from my house...but I have never eaten there. you have to make reservations months in advance and I cant bring my self to keep the reservation because the set price is $200 a person....hard to swallow. It is a hobby of my wife and I to visit restaurants and make up our own grading system, but this is still the only restaurant in our area that has alluded me.
Believe Keller was the primary resource for advice for Ratatouille the movie.
