World’s Tastiest Sandwich: Shawarma - Joseph, Beirut 

Fans of this classic Lebanese staple head for Joseph in the heart of Sin El Fil in Beirut, which has been serving hungry clients for more than 20 years. Two huge spits of alternating fat and seasoned meat rotate around their center, soaking up the juices while the tender meat cooks slowly. Generous portions of chicken and beef are shaved off their stacks, scooped into fresh pitas, garnished with crisp lettuce, tomatoes, onions and parsley and slathered with tahini or garlic aioli. It’s a masterpiece of flavorful meat, crunchy vegetables, tender bread and the perfect amount of fat and spice.

World’s Best Steak Restaurant: Dons de la Nature - Tokyo

Chef Otsuka selects the best Wagyu beef from the market every day, depending on which of the half dozen top breeds are showing best that day. The beef is dry aged for 30 days and then wet aged for 30 days before being grilled in a custom-built kiln at over 1,000 degrees using Kishu binchotan wood from rare Japanese oaks. The steak is salted, peppered, cooked medium-rare and presented whole and then cut into two pieces, one for each person. Steak purists complain this is more foie gras than steak. So be it. Bring it on!

World’s Best Chinese Restaurant: Sek Yuen Restoran - Kuala Lumpur

Opened in 1948 near bustling Pudu Market, Sek Yuen is one of the oldest restaurants in Kuala Lumpur. The cavernous dining space is filled with black-and-white pictures and newspaper clippings, and the restaurant has gained a loyal following with its no-menu, feed-you-till-you're-full approach. Their signature dish is perfectly roasted duck with a crispy outer skin and tender and succulent meat. The rice it comes with is cooked in duck stock so it's very rich and tasty. Be sure to ask for their home-made sour plum sauce.

World’s Most Authentic Dining Destination: Samm - Madrid

Some food experts claim that Samm, established by Vicente and Carmen Asunción Martinez in 1973, serves paella better than that cooked by the finest chefs in Valencia. The restaurant’s Paella Del Senyoret is a showcase of succulent shelled seafood, making it easy to eat by the spoonful. The rice retains its shape while swelling and takes on the intense flavor of the seafood broth it cooks in. Fans can’t resist scraping up every last piece of caramelized rice stuck to the pan. The consistency of the soft, moist rice and intense flavor from the seafood broth is so pronounced it doesn't even need aioli.

World’s Tastiest Burger: Bleecker Black - Bleecker Street Burger, London

Inside a converted van she called Bleecker St., after her favorite street in Manhattan, former corporate lawyer Zan Kaufman cooks the ultimate hamburger. The infamous Bleecker Black starts with two beef patties that come from The Butchery in Bermondsey, which specializes in native-breed, pasture-fed cattle. Dry-aged for 40 to 50 days, the meat is cooked medium-rare to showcase its intense, beefy flavor. Zan then layers Clonakilty black pudding in the middle and American cheese on top – and finishes it off with a pillowy, toasted sesame seed bun and house-made “secret” burger sauce. Fans wolf it down with the ultimate companion: a serving of Angry Fries – hand cut Maris Piper chips topped with blue cheese and hot sauce.
