When I Wrote 'fast Food My Way'

All The Great Chefs I Know - Thomas Keller, Jean-georges Vongerichten - They Are Technicians First.

I Am A Glutton. I'll Eat Whatever Is There. Pizza. I Love Hot Dogs Anywhere. I've Got Nothing Against Any Of That. If I Feel Like Eating, I Eat. I Don't Feel Guilty About It At All.

Great Cooking Favors The Prepared Hands.

I Say: If You Don't Know How To Cook, I'm Sure You Have At Least One Friend Who Knows How To Cook. Well, Call That Friend And Say, 'can I Come Next Time And Can I Bring Some Food And Can I Come An Hour Or Two Hours Ahead And Watch You And Help You?'

One Of The Biggest Problems With Young Chefs Is Too Much Addition To The Plate. You Put Cilantro And Then Tarragon And Then Olive Oil And Then Walnut Oil Or Whatever. It's Too Much.
