In your opinion :-) (I haven't been to Meadowood in years, nor to Benu, but French Laundry is overrated and overpriced by miles in my opinion).

<i>I haven't been to Meadowood in years</i>

I have eaten at both Ame and Meadowood within the past month. They are not comparable experiences.

And, to be clear, I don't think that is a knock on Ame. I don't think that Ame seeks to be the sort of restaurant that Meadowood or French Laundry or Benu are. They are simply different animals.

<i>but French Laundry is overrated and overpriced by miles in my opinion</i>

And everyone is entitled to their opinion, but we should be clear that yours is a minority opinion and that French Laundry is one of the most influential restaurants in the US in the past 20 years.

I don't mind being in the minority. My opinion is my opinion, that's all it is (and frankly, that's all anyone's is).
