I just find the world very exciting and beautiful everywhere.
From Eric Ripert
California is lucky, the East Coast is lucky because we get great seafood and a lot of produce from Florida, locally in good weather, but in the winter we have to buy it.
Chefs are leaders in their own little world.
It took me all my life to learn how to salt a tomato.
It's a very naive idea to think that the chef is cooking everything, and, on top of it, is irreplaceable. That would mean that basically he is the only genius, and there are idiots all around him, which doesn't make sense.
One thing I don't like is complaints.
I'm very inspired by other cultures and very often use what I perceive to be exotic ingredients.
I'm fascinated by Japanese cuisine.
America is a such a melting pot, I'm not sure if roast chicken is the classic comfort food for everybody.
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.
