Here's a very interesting article that dives deep into the recesses of the minds of celebrity chefs & food critics.

The tension between those roles & the level of neuroses of each is evident in this "cover her ass' article about this food critic's rare interaction with a world famous chef happened at #TheFrenchLaundry.

PS: I've eaten at the The French Laundry before & frankly wasn't all that impressed -- probably because I'm not a celebrity, rich nor a food critic.

And I also do not think that the chef will be happy with this "non-review" review of him & his resturant. 🤷‍♂️

Sunday brunch: there's nothing better than dining al fresco during the fleeting season of agreeable outdoor weather. But one way to elevate a garden party is through thoughtfully chosen tablewares that bring a personal touch to every detail. A setting as memorable as the company and conversation — that's southern hospitality at its finest.
