    Didn't Nancy Silverton lose all her money in the Madoff thing?

    Suzanne Goin is my culinary hero, although she doesn't own a "mini-empire."

    @Penny: My friend's old employer designed her new restaurant, Tavern in Brentwood. He drove me by it to show me and Suzanne was actually behind the restaurant in her whites and with gloves on talking to someone. I got so excited! She actually works in the kitchen, not just overseeing and letting someone else take over.

    @Penny: She kind of does-- four restaurants is it now? And I think I heard another is in the works.


    And I made a recipe from the Sunday Suppers etc cookbook recently-- my first attempt from the book-- and it was so awesome that I keep thinking about it. All the time.

    @Atomic Monkey Mouse: It's my FAVORITE cookbook. It's not too intimidating but still helps me explore new techniques and flavors. Everything I have made from the book has been super delicious.


    I had no idea she had more than 2 restaurants, that's great!

    That's some lovely essentialism you've got there, Mary Sue. I would pair it with an overripe Merlot.

    I work for a group of professional chefs. Most of them are quite the divas. But this story takes the cake.

    Given what I've read about life at Versailles, that may have been as good an excuse as any to get out of there.

    Now if he had made a foie gras out of his own liver to substitute for the fish course I would have given him credit. Where's the dedication?

    His replacement, Louie, fared no better, getting into an epic battle with a reggae-singing crab who took offense to the cooking of his crustacean brethren.

    For what it's worth, chances are that Louis would've sent him to the guillotine for substituting the fish course. So, really, this was just a preemptive strike.

    Maybe over lobster or something stuffed with crab, but the fish course? Have some standards, man.

    @Miss. Money-Sterling: yes, it's damned disturbing. I think, however, his life was a foil for the excesses and cultural insanity of the time. Man was totally.out.of.his.mind. But then, so was everyone else. Remember: Versailles had no bathrooms! (ew.)
