Chef Jean-Louis was such a joy to watch on Chopped. It is apparent that he loves what he does and it showed. I have watched several episodes and this was the first that prompted me to want to seek out the chef to compliment.
Thank you very much.
I loved the Chopped challenge and proved that after 30 years at the stove I still kick derriere. LOL
I just caught your Chopped episode yesterday (better late than never!) and I was thrilled with your win. In addition to skill, you showed such grace and warmth, it was a delight to see. Statesmanship.
And I’ve got to ask – did you ever get to that road trip with your wife?! : )
Many thanks. No we still have to decide which convertible to get … I am for a classic Mustang, Linda is more BMW
We’ll see
LOL
