Lunch with Massimo Bottura, the man voted the number one chef in the world

ONE OF THE FIRST things you see inside the door of Massimo Bottura’s restaurant, Osteria Francescana, in Modena, Italy, is a self-portrait of the artist Joseph Beuys posing like a stand-in for the Sundance Kid; the inscription at the bottom, in Italian, says, “We are the revolution.”
Bottura has been a force in a culinary revolution for years now, but not necessarily in a way that ignites sweeping movements.
