"But the side benefit of my heinous job is that I have the opportunity to dine out frequently, as part of recruiting, client meetings, firm events, etc. I also eat when I'm happy, when I'm upset, when I'm stressed, when I'm bored, when I'm celebrating, whe..."

"Thomas Keller is the chef-owner behind this discreet restaurant that regularly ranks as one of, if not the, best restaurant in the world. Plainly put, a meal at the French Laundry is unlike any other dining experience...."

"For 15 years, the restaurant in this rustic stone building on a quiet street in Yountville was a Bay Area institution under proprietors Sally and Don Schmitt. But the couple eventually got tired of the daily grind, and in 1994 a new French Laundry was bor..."

"Because the food is so serious, it could become stifling, but Keller keeps it all in perspective with a keen culinary sense of humor. One of his complimentary appetizers is a shrimp cocktail: a martini glass with a spicy warm shrimp hanging over the side...."
