In an industry where celebrity chefs are known as much for their salty talk and quick tempers as their food, Eric Ripert stands out. The winner of four James Beard Awards, co-owner and chef of a world-renowned restaurant, and recipient of countless Michelin stars, Ripert embodies elegance and culinary perfection. But before the accolades, before he even knew how to make a proper hollandaise sauce, Eric Ripert was a lonely young boy in the south of France whose life was falling apart.

pirate vs. chef
my morning routine consisted of "funny Tony" Dora,Team Umizumi and The Sopranos. my daughter preferred "Funny Tony". She hates anything with a trademark (except KFC Mac n cheese ) and can make Chinese dumplings and roll sushi better than I can. I love the fact that one of my baby girls idols is Anthony Bourdain
