Why There Isn't a Best Chef in the World
In victory, top chefs are much like the classiest of professional tennis players: self-deprecatory, admiring of their rivals, grateful to their teachers. Two weeks ago, just after his restaurant Maido was proclaimed No. 1 among the 50 Best Restaurants in the World at a ceremony in Turin, Italy, Mitsuharu Tsumura told me, 'There is competition, but when you finish, you shake hands, you have a beer.' Unlike tennis and other sports, though, the world of haute cuisine doesn't really have a universally recognized ranking system like the Association of Tennis Professionals and the Women's Tennis Association. For those who point to the Michelin Guide, I will politely say the French tire company provides ratings not rankings. The 50 Best franchise certainly provides a glitzy showcase for some of the finest eating establishments in the world, but it's incomprehensive. The list has lots of Latin American representation, like Maido in Peru, but sparse North American luminaries. (One of my favorites, Atomix in New York City, placed 12th this year, dropping six spots; the next US restaurant isn't even in the top 50: Single Thread in Healdsburg, California, at 80.)

Is South Africa vs Italy on TV? Kick-off time, channel and how to watch Springboks
South Africa play their first fully-fledged international of 2025 as they take on Italy in Pretoria. The Springboks shook off some of the rust with a non-capped thrashing of the Barbarians last week, but the intensity ratchets up as Italy bid to build on a win over Namibia that began their tour. Advertisement Rassie Erasmus takes few chances with his selection in a nod to Italy's recent rise, with the South Africa boss expecting a stern test and recalling a couple of World Cup winners to his side. Can their visitors cause a shock? Here's everything you need to know. When is South Africa vs Italy? South Africa vs Italy is due to kick off at 4.10pm BST on Saturday 5 July at Loftus Versfeld in Pretoria. How can I watch it? Viewers in the United Kingdom can watch the match live on Sky Sports Action, with coverage on the channel from 3.50pm BST. A live stream will be available via Sky Go and NOW. Team news Jesse Kriel captains the Springboks in the absence of Siya Kolisi having also led the side in the non-capped clash with the Barbarians last week. Vincent Tshituka earns an international debut in the back row with Marco van Staden filling in for the skipper on the openside, while Handre Pollard and Damian Willemse take over as the chief playmakers at 10 and 15 respectively. Advertisement It is, as is custom, a frighteningly good bench, with Willie le Roux in line for a 99th cap as one of two backs replacements - Faf de Klerk is the other as 'Bomb Squad' regulars like Vincent Koch, RG Snyman and Kwagga Smith await deployment. There's a fresh feel to parts of the Italy side, who are without Michele Lamaro, Juan Ignacio Brex, and Sebastian Negri, among others. Lock Niccolo Cannone captains a side that also contains brother Lorenzo, while Tommaso Di Bartolomeo starts at hooker with Giacmo Nicotera (who had been due to skipper) out with a rib injury. Gonzalo Quesada matches the Springboks with a six/two bench, with three forward debutants among his sextet of replacements: hooker Pablo Dimcheff, lock Matteo Canali and flanker David Odiase should all earn their first international caps at some stage. Line-ups South Africa XV: 1 Ox Nche, 2 Malcolm Marx, 3 Wilco Louw; 4 Eben Etzebeth, 5 Lood de Jager; 6 Marco van Staden, 7 Vincent Tshituka, 8 Jasper Wiese; 9 Morne van den Berg, 10 Handre Pollard; 11 Kurt-Lee Arendse, 12 Damian de Allende, 13 Jesse Kriel (capt.), 14 Cheslin Kolbe; 15 Damian Willemse.
