Carolyn—Fell off my chair after reading Ripert’s answer to your incisive Q re: what’s it like when he and Bourdain hang out. Not too long ago a TV episode aired showing Tony B returning to Le Halles as a worker bee. After years of soft life as a Travel TV star. he quickly realized the quickness and agility with which he once ran the high-end, high volume kitchen as chef was gone. Getting behinder and behinder (including getting yelled at by his former sous chef), he placed a phone call to his pal–yep, to Eric Ripert for help.
Ripert left Le Bernardin to aid his pal–as a fellow grunt! After the last order finished, he and Bourdain had a few adult beverages. I suspect having spent just part of a dinner shift in a chaotic environment made him all the more determined to run a very disciplined operation. Yeah, I think when Eric and Tony B hook-up, they get wasted–after all, isn’t that what kindred spirits are about?

Great behind-the-scenes interview! I think I’m going to have to get this book as I’ve had delusions of opening a restaurant from time to time.
