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.

Whether it's destiny or fate or whatever, I don't think I could do a French Laundry anywhere else.

Good food is a good trend.

Larousse is an invaluable tool for any cook. I've used this great resource all throughout my cooking career, and of course I look forward to the new edition. New information and knowledge are always welcome.

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

For me, thats one of the important things about cooking. What was good enough yesterday may not be good enough today.

But once in a while you might see me at In and Out Burger; they make the best fast food hamburgers around.
