Thomas Keller
Image
We rely on our purveyors to tell us what's available and what's good.
Thomas Keller
Image
I believe Fernand Point is one of the last true gourmands of the 20th century. His ruminations are extraordinary and thought-provoking. He has been an inspiration for legions of chefs.

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

Success is measured by the memories you create.
