Success is measured by the memories you create.

I didnt want to be encumbered by what anyone elses abilities were, their equipment or environment or their ability to get certain products.

I wanted to learn everything I could about what it takes to be a great chef. It was a turning point for me.

The law of diminishing returns is something I really believe in.

I don't think you could have a 7 with a manual. But I can't see having a BMW sports sedan without a manual.

I wanted to write about what we were doing at the French Laundry, the recipes and the stories.

In any restaurant of this caliber, the chefs are in the same position, building relationships.
