add complete french fresh longest love meal roast start takes until
I love to make a one-pot meal - think stir-fry but in the French Fricassee. I start with what takes the longest to roast and then add vegetables, fresh herbs, and starch until the meal is complete in one shot.
food french general less respecting
Le Cirque at first was one of those general French restaurants in town, which were cooking more or less the same food. At Le Cirque, I wanted to do something different while respecting the foundation of the restaurant. I did that through the menu.
age french good meat
For me, 30 days, it's already pretty good for ribeye or sirloin on the bone. I like my meat grass-fed and juicy. The French never age their meat more than two or three weeks.
art bring casual food french soul tradition
For me to go casual is not to go simple. To me, it is to be able to bring back the art of tradition and the soul of French food and my interpretation of that.
america close dish french
it comes as close as a French dish made in America with American ingredients can come.
america cuisine difference french similar
I actually don't think there is any difference between French and American cuisine. French cuisine was always about discipline, about ingredient, about creativity, but also about simple. I see America as very similar in these rights.
food french italian love original soulful
I love Italian food; it's soulful like French food. Italian food is original and homey; it's market-driven, but also can be locally sourced.
certainly french
Sauce is certainly ancestral to French cooking. The technique is very tricky, but it's also very fundamental.
continue cuisine french history relevant remain spain time trendy
I think Spain will always remain inspirational, and I think French cuisine will continue to be very French and yet very relevant with its time and keep evolving. But the last thing you want for it is to become too trendy and confusing. It has too much history.
art artists biggest chefs cuisine cycles education imitate inspired past rather trying
The biggest thing is education for young chefs and how they should focus on one cuisine rather than trying to imitate too many. It's like art - you can see the cycles from many past artists and new artists being inspired by past artists.
arrived helped people three time worked
I was 25 years old when I arrived in D.C. It was just myself and two people who worked and helped me in the kitchen. I was only cooking for three people most of the time.
tourists
I want to make sure the fine-dining restaurant has a clientele who is local as much as tourists and foodies.
love
I love to drive, especially on tracks, where I go a lot faster.
cautious pretension
I have no pretension that I belong in D.C. I mean, I have to be cautious on how we do our restaurant.
