There's no denying that the French Laundry is at the top of its—and everyone else's—class, which is why it's so surprising to see a diner refused Thomas Keller's famous signature Coffee and Donuts: "The only thing that would have made it better was that near the end of the meal, I saw several tables get what looked to be a fried donut. When our table did not get this dish near the end of the meal, I asked our server what that dish was. He told me that you have to request it (coffee and donuts) when you first get there. It's sort of an off menu item that is available without an extra charge." [CH]
