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 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 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 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.
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.
america close dish french
it comes as close as a French dish made in America with American ingredients can come.
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.
food people
I think at Le Cirque I learned how to make real food, which is what people crave, not just gimmicky things on a plate.
admiring
I think there are a lot of chefs in D.C. who have made D.C. what it is today. I am very respectful to them. I'm very admiring of what they've done.
chefs cities food local vibrant
I think D.C. has always been very, very vibrant for food. Like Boston in a way. Boston and D.C. were really the two cities that were the most active with their local chefs and their local food scene.
fine people
I think fine dining should be part of the community where it is, more than just for the people who are going to make a special occasion.
eat ice maybe order plane rather salad
I usually try to eat in my restaurants before I fly, as I'd rather sleep on the plane and just order a salad with cheese, maybe some ice cream.
