I Had A Passion For Cooking, And

Just Walking In The Kitchen (and We Have Three Kitchens At Le Bernardin), I Exercise Quite A Lot. I Also Walk In Central Park For 50 Minutes From My House To Le Bernardin Every Day, Rain, Shine, Snow.

I Have More Eating Memories Than Cooking Memories And Many Memories Of Being In The Kitchen - I Was Always Attracted To The Kitchen - But Nobody Ever Wanted Me To Touch Anything.

California Is Lucky, The East Coast Is Lucky Because We Get Great Seafood And A Lot Of Produce From Florida, Locally In Good Weather, But In The Winter We Have To Buy It.

I Had A Passion For Cooking, And I Was A Very Bad Student.

When I Was Twelve, I Decided To Become A Chef. I Stole A Book From The Library About The Greatest Restaurants In France. I'd Flip The Pages And Dream. I Should Return That Book To The Library Some Day.
