26 April, 2013 by rgonzalezr

the art of the restauranteur – $685

12 December, 2012 by rgonzalezr

Until 30 years ago, restaurateurs were considered the most important figures in any restaurant’s success, with chefs consigned to the kitchen. This process began to change with the elevation of chef-patron Paul Bocuse in the late 1970s, and has continued with the rise of the celebrity chef. Restaurateurs are hugely important but rarely written about and significantly under-appreciated. The profession, other than its commercial and social aspects, has a fundamental human appeal: restaurateurs derive their name and profession from the […]

How did we become so disconnected from the sources of our breads, beef, cheeses, cereal, apples, and countless other foods that nourish us every day? Ann Vileisis’ answer is a sensory-rich journey through the history of making […]

23 March, 2012 by rgonzalezr

When chef Bernard Loiseau bought the restaurant-hotel La Cote d’Or in Burgundy, he vowed to make it a gastronomic paradise. More than a decade later, his famed restaurant has become one of the fewer than 20 restaurants that the Michelin Guide recommends with three stars. The guide’s secret surveillance and standards of perfection denied its highest ratings to most of the 10,772 restaurants and hotels it listed in 1992, with only 19 awarded its coveted three stars. How this perfection-mad […]
