World's 50 Best Restaurants

The UK's Restaurant Magazine named the 50 Best Restaurants in the World this month.

I have eaten at exactly ONE of them (Jean Georges, woot woot!), but I haven't given up hope to eat my way through several more by the end of the year.

A couple questions...
1) Is French Laundry really that good? Worth the day trip?
2) Has anyone been to El Bulli? I am DYING to go there... (Honey?)
