Berlin: World #48 & 2* Restaurant Tim Raue

London: 1* The Clove Club #26 in the World
It’s been a pretty big week in the foodie world. At some point, you probably saw that the latest #Worlds50Best was released; you know, the annual glorification of the top end of the restaurant scene. I must admit, I watched the ceremony through the live streaming site and was interested to see who the winners and…
