Burnt Ends
No.93 World's 50 Best 2025 — elite chef

Veronica's Take
Burnt Ends, the Singaporean grill haven that just clinched the No. 93 spot on the World's 50 Best 2025 list, is where chef Dave Pynt's obsession with fire meets the culinary finesse of executive chef Patrick Leano. Every dish, from the classics to the daily specials, bears the unmistakable mark of the flame—whether it's the direct kiss of the grill or the smoky embrace of an oven pit. Leano's Filipino heritage adds a thrilling twist, infusing the menu with unexpected Asian sauces and flavors that elevate the restaurant's signature charred creations to new heights. This is a dark horse in the culinary world, blending tradition with innovation in a way that feels both familiar and wildly unhinged.
