A Gastronomic To-Do List: 50 Tasks to Relish
I like a ‘to do’ list as much as the next person.
I’ve dabbled with systems like Getting Things Done (anything with a tickler file, must be good, right?) and even managed to make some progress towards Inbox Zero.
Last night, by some quirk of fate I found myself hob-nobbing with the world’s leading chefs (as you do) at The World’s 50 Best Restaurant 2010 event.
My tally?
A pathetic four of the 50 restaurants listed. I really must buck up my ideas. Still, this is one task list that I’ll be delighted to tackle whenever possible. Sadly, my bank manager might feel differently.
And so to the list…
