Where Chefs Eat
Like a golfer who knows the best courses around, it's no surprise that chefs tend to know of some good places to chow down. Where Chefs Eat: A Guide to Chefs' Favourite Restaurants ($13) is filled with wisdom from some of the world's best chefs, including reviews, quotes, maps, and over 2,000 personal recommendations from names like Ferran Adria, Matt Molina, Daniel Boulud, David Chang, and others. Just be aware that this isn't exactly a pocket guide — at over 700 pages, you'd best make your choices before you leave home.
