Chefs' Secrets

Everything you ever wanted to know about what happens when two chefs vacation together..and more

It’s August, baby. And I’m on vacation. Maybe you are, too?

If so, you’ll have plenty of time to listen to one of my favorite episodes of my podcast ever: my chat with Eric Ripert of Le Bernardin in New York. 

If you know me, you definitely know Eric. He has three Michelin stars and is one of the best chefs in the world. But that’s NOT what we talk about on this show.

We talk about vacation — namely the time he visited me in Spain and claims he gained 20 pounds in a week. We also talk about our two biggest restaurant embarrassments. Mine involves a tank of fish; his involves a very important French general—and the end of Eric’s career as a server.

But wait, there’s more! I also did some cooking on this show: a delicious squid ink pasta. And I answered a great question from a listener like you.

In other words: You do not want to miss this episode.
