    He seems so darn awesome, the kind of chef that can take in any young cook and make them great.

    Chef Keller is arguably the finest chef produced to date in the United States. This kitchen design exemplifies a thought process few could duplicate.
    Bravo Chef.

      chef mike Arguably NOT. French Restaurant is one of the most overpriced and overrated restaurant...along with Urasawa (which is even more expensive and overrated).

      Vette gaddia We'll simply disagree on this one. I've been a fan of Keller for over twenty years. His accolades from industry peers, and they're a highly critical group, speaks volumes. Blessings

    What an amazing idea to use the same tablecloth and light bulbs in the kitchen like the restaurant so you can see exactly how food looks to customers. An attention to detail that is both simple and extreme at the same time. Who comes up with this stuff??!!

      The Michelin Guide is far from the only authority that matters. In fact, it's becoming less relevant as years go by.

    It's cool how he simplified his stations by food type (fish, meat, veggie, etc.). I would imagine this saves him and his staff precious time in the food prep by eliminating much of the concern of cross-contamination of particular ingredients.

      +D Mention That isn't his innovation. That comes from classic french restaurant brigade. A meat stations vegetables are handled by the entremetier and so on leading to a reduction in self work load but a higher team mentality. While the meat cook handles the meat, the entermetier cooks the vegetables and garnish andd sets it on the plate for the meat which is then brought to the pass and finished with sauce brought up from the saucier.

      @PYrO2058 10 років тому +14

      Email. Ask for a stage. Explain your situation if you have no culinary background- don't be discouraged if they tell you no, or not right now. Places like this, & Chefs like this, only take the best. I'd highly recommend some level of culinary training- & I'm not talking Applebees. Look for French restaurants with classically trained French Chefs. Stay away from corporate Chefs. They're terrible to work for. Good luck to you!

    It'd be nice if Keller would get back in the kitchen and get that mess together. Have to imagine some things will change with recent reviews.

    • @andrewf6181
      @andrewf6181 8 років тому +3

      +Will Sullivan Yes ofcourse because he is the sole reason the restaurant runs. I ate there during the period of the bad reviews and it was fucking stellar. Service didn't miss a beat and the food was flawless. I'm in the industry and I know people on front and back of house teams there and they are commited to restoring it. Mistakes happen, its about recovering after it happens. I would hardly think of a kitchen that produces Michelin Starred food as something that needs to "get that mess together". Do they need to change to a different format and drop all the unnecessary surcharges, yes in my opinion. But to just bash it from the safety of your computer not knowing the constraints they have to live within surrounding their kitchen is assinine.

      Well the wait staff is paid mostly in gratuities and uaually, cooks in restaurants of this caliber are working for minimum wage or for free. I was one of the but for Jean Georges at Vong many years ago. We choose to work for free because we received the best experience in the world.
