convinced great people
I am convinced that if you serve great value, people will come to you.
believe people
A lot of people believe that when you are Buddhist, you are the Dalai Lama. I'm certainly not.
careers change good life middle people
I see a lot of people who change careers in the middle of their life and they think it's a good idea to come in the kitchen.
numbers evil people
Fast food is both evil and genius. Because of it we can feed a large number of people fairly decently at an affordable price. However, all the artificial flavors and artificial ingredients in some of their products are unacceptable. And it's designed so you can eat fast so you get back to work more quickly. Not good.
thinking people guilt
A lot of foreign people say, when asking about eating habits, 'What is your guilty pleasure?' I have no guilt. Whatever I do, I enjoy and it's the point. I think if you start to feel guilty about it, that's a problem. So, no guilty pleasures. I have pleasure and no guilt at all.
family time
To me, it's very important to have time at the restaurant but also time with family and time for myself.
bit explaining four newspaper reviewers stars three
Michelin will have to do a bit of explaining with only three stars at the top. Most of the newspaper reviewers here go up to four stars.
america
I find the organic wave much more interesting in America than in France.
affair beautiful connection love share start white willing
With scallops, it's where you get them. We get them live in the shell. I'm willing to share our connection with the White House. This could be the start of a beautiful love affair with the scallop.
pinpoint time
When I see someone who has responsibilities, most of the time I can pinpoint that person because of the way he carries himself.
For me, I do not wish to build an empire.
burdened focus lose managing
What I never want to do is lose my focus on Le Bernardin. That's why I did not want to be burdened with managing the place. I'm not going to be there every day.
It has been stressful to be a French resident in America.
I like very much Louis Vuitton. My wife loves it too.
