Per Se of New York City Merits Entry in Wikipedia

There are many restaurants in New York City, granted, but not many are able to make it into the Wikipedia with their own page of entry. Per se is called a gourmet restaurant, that is owned and run by its executive chef Thomas Keller at its current location at #10 Columbus Circle (on the fourth floor of the Time Warner Center). Keller is assisted by Johnathon Benno, the chef de cuisine. Keller admittedly took a risk putting up another restaurant, since he had his hands full running his other restaurants called Bouchon (with branches in Las Vegas and Napa Valley), and French Laundry (that runs solely in Napa Valley). Having so many restaurants in his cap, Keller was closely watched when he introduced Per Se in New York City in February 2004 - perhaps people were wondering whether he would soar with this new restaurant or fall flat on his back? Whichever holds true, Per Se remained true to the Keller tradition by being able to reap awards by 2005 - specifically garnering a much-coveted three stars from the respected Michelin Guide in that year. Then by December 2006, Per Se made it to the list of the 50 leading restaurants in New York as rated by Travel + Leisure Magazine. Restaurant Magazine followed suit in 2007 by crediting Per Se as the ninth top restaurant of the world, and the second-leading restaurant in the United States for that year.
