I don't have the slightest clue what this guy is talking about. Guy Savoy has a restaurant in the United States too, and it's just as packed. Americans are clearly able to appreciate it. And the wait there is a joke compared to The French Laundry.

Also, Thomas Keller is almost certainly the world's greatest. He has 2 restaurants in Restaurant Magazine's top 50 (numbers 5 and 6).
