Perplexity

Claude and ChatGPT answer with the Michelin 3-star canon. Perplexity reads "hard to book" as a real booking problem — leading with Atomix and Carbone, not Le Bernardin. Gemini opens with Tatiana, the restaurant that defined the 2024 reservation wars. The same question, four different definitions of what fine dining authority means.
