Thomas Keller is pure genius

So this is Thomas Keller, he is the only American chef to be awarded three star Michelin ratings for two restaurants. One of which is The French Laundry, haven't heard of it? Go ahead and Google it, I'll wait......

Now that you've seen what all the fanfare is about let's just look at one of his beautiful plates

Have I ever eaten at The French Laundry? Um, no. I work for a living and by work I mean a 9-5 type job that while I love and am thankful for it does not mean I can dine like a king. While I can and do appreciate the finer things in life I will not take out a small loan to feed my foodie obsessions. I will however, read, stalk (and by stalk, I mean Goole the hell out of any piece of info I can get on this man and his mouth watering creations).

 

 

One of the many things I love about this man is that he loves sharing his recipes. While his food in his restaurants are high end, his attitude on eating good is simple foods, simple ingredents and putting your own special flare on it to make it your own.

Roasted Chicken you say? It's basic and simple but sooooo damn good so give it a try.

 

So in closing let's just all agree that you can eat, drink and be merry and not break the bank in doing so. Thanks Mr. Keller for your God given talents and thanks for sharing them with the rest of us.
