I'm in my final year of culinary school, and the food we are serving in our dining room is straight out of Chef Keller's French Laundry and Bouchon cookbooks. While I'm sad to see your adventure with the French Laundry come to a close, I'm excited to continue along with you in the Alinea cookbook. Best of luck - those recipes are like your worst TFL nightmares on super mega crack.

I anticipate a train wreck, and am amused with the results. You and Sarah disappointed me with preparation and interesting results. Hopefully, the Alinea project will prove to be your "Peter Principle" and the resulting carnage will satisfy your readers' morbid curiosity. <BR/>As melancholy as we may get, seeing this project end, the new one should be quite tasty. Your financial investment for equipment for the new project should be killer.
