As expected, Corey Lee of the French Laundry tutelage and boy genius chef status, debuted Benu with an astounding 2 star splash. Joshua Skenes’ Saison and Baume in Palo Alto upgraded to two stars from their 2011 one star rating. The three star ratings remain unchanged from 2011 with TFL and Meadowood floating on top.
