accent beef egg fried great top vibe wash york
Balthazar has a great New York vibe with the accent of a Parisian brasserie. I usually have the corned beef hash with a fried egg on top and wash it all down with Krug Champagne.
bars chain choose good great healthy menu salad
If you're on a budget, Sweetgreen is a new chain of salad bars that are very good but inexpensive. You choose from a menu or customise your own, with some protein, a healthy salad and a great dressing.
chefs great home none problem work
The problem is that there is many great chefs and many great cookbooks, but none of them work at home.
customers endless great life moment pleasure pursuit seeing sharing
I take so much pleasure at seeing customers who are happy: happy with what they eat, but happy with their friends and sharing a great moment together, and I think that is more important in life than the endless pursuit of perfection.
daniel deli great review room time trip
Every time - well, not every time, but in celebration of a great review or a great accolade, I take the team of Daniel to Katz's Deli for lunch. We take the trip on the subway, we were like 40 or 50 people, and we go in the back room and have a pastrami sandwich.
add aiming concentration flavors great high liquid proportion sauce wash
In any sauce you make, start with a concentration of flavors with great acidity. You then re-dilute the sauce, but the proportion of liquid you add should not be so high that you wash away the extracted flavor you're aiming to create.
great
To me, there's no great chef without a great team.
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.
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.
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.

I never go to Vancouver without stopping by Thomas Haas' shop for the best chocolate in North America. A former chef patissier at Daniel, he returned to his hometown and created a top quality brand by sticking to his passion.
