"  Have you ever tried to get a reservation at a hot new restaurant only to be told there&amp;#039;s a long wait list? You have probably heard stories about ridiculous waiting periods at some of the world&amp;#039;s best restaurants. The French Laundry is consistently booked months in advance. El Bulli closed with rumors that there were still 30,000 people left on its wait list. And Rao&amp;#039;s in NYC barely picks up the phone. But nothing compares to the 10-year wait list at the 20-seat restaurant Damon Baehrel. Located in Earlton, NY, over 100 miles north of Manhattan, Damon Baehrel is in the basement of Chef Damon Baehrel and his wife&amp;#039;s home. With no set menu, all ingredients are hand-picked by Baehrel, who prepares a 4- to 5-hour, 14- to 19-course tasting experience for a mere $265 (beverages not included). The wait list for this restaurant is one of the world&amp;#039;s longest. Amazingly, Baehrel works all alone. He forages, preps, cooks, waits, and cleans everything he serves. The restaurant opened in 1989, and word quickly spread about the incredible dishes. TripAdvisor.com commenters have noted that it&amp;#039;s an &amp;quot;indescribable dining experience&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;out of this world.&amp;quot; After a piece about the restaurant ran on Bloomberg.com, the wait jumped from 5 years to almost 10 years. Reservations are only taken by email through an account that&amp;#039;s maintained by Baehrel&amp;#039;s friend. So, if you must dine at Damon Baehrel, write that email now, and get ready to practice patience. via Delish.com "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
