I think that you’ve got to make something that pleases you and hope that other people feel the same way.
~ Thomas Keller
When we eat together, when we set out to do so deliberately, life is better, no matter what your circumstances.
Hopefully, imparting what's important to me, respect for the food and that information about the purveyors, people will realize that for a restaurant to be good, so many pieces have to come together.
I hope the cooks who are working for me now are getting that kind of experience so they can use what they're learning now as a foundation for a great career.
Food should be fun.
I wanted to learn everything I could about what it takes to be a great chef. It was a turning point for me.
