The PeekScores of the World’s 10 Best Restaurants’ Head Chefs

What is PeekScore?: PeekScore is a rank from 1 to 10, assigned to every person. The higher someone’s score, the “more important” they are on the web. In calculating your PeekScore and updating it often, PeekYou takes into account your known presence and activity on the Internet, including but not limited to; your blogging, participation in social networks, the number of your friends, followers, or readers, the amount of web content you create, and your prominence in the news. For first time visitors a more in-depth explanation of what the PeekScore is, and how to increase your own, can be found by clicking through here.

San Pellegrino has just released its annual list of The World’s 50 Best Restaurants for 2013. To both the actually knowledgeable as well as the dilettante gourmands and would-be globetrotters scattered across cyberspace, the list apparently contained some big surprises. We’ll leave opining on all of that to the appropriate sources. What we’ve done here, to mark the release of this auspicious list, is take the head chef from each of the top 10 restaurants and put him through his PeekScore paces, and then pit him against the others to see how they all measure up, digital footprint-wise.

This is not a measurement of their qualities as chefs nor is it even a commentary on their fame in the world at large. Simply, this is a look at the presences and impacts of each of these men here in cyberspace.

With this PeekScore survey, we’re taking a look at the online lives of some men and women whose considerable fortunes were made providing the world with accommodations, a chance to get away from it all, and/or a home away from home. We were going to call this one a list of top hoteliers, but that didn’t quite sum up the entirety of what some of these folks do.

This isn’t a look at the quality of the work of these individuals, the successes they’ve had with their businesses, nor the amenities their hotels provide. This is a look at the impacts each of of these women and men have made here on the Internet. We’re comparing their PeekScores, as we always do (an explanation of which can be found above, or more in depth by clicking through here).

Are there any such hotel and/or hospitality magnates you’d like to have seen included below? Let us know in the comments.
