Anything Thomas Keller does in the kitchen is wondrous magic. Out of the kitchen he is also an incredibly nice individual who I am grateful for having shared his passion for cooking with me and my kids

To which I respond, “why?”

Hopefully they’re not using bong water as a soup ingredient.

that’s actually some quality snark there. “oh, your critic says our soup looks like bong water? well then, we’ll serve him next time with a bong.”

How does one “blow” something with their “hand”?

When Anthony Bourdain went there for A Cook’s Tour, Thomas Keller made him a surprise desert from his two favorite things: coffee and cigarettes (mocha custard infused with tobacco leaf). The guy is like Willie Wonka in the kitchen and I hope to eat there someday.

We tried Keller’s French Laundry years ago and were horribly disappointed. I don’t think we rated “bong” status. I’m guessing that food critics and insiders have a totally different experience.

No disrespect to Chef Keller…
…I think this is a little silly.

Here’s an idea: instead of saying “My three stars puts me above criticism,” why not taste the soup and see if there is room for improvement?

Dude, this is the internet…

Farts with no odor don’t pass the smell test.
