Yesterday we were visited by the man, the myth, the legend Thomas Keller. His kind hosts Dr. Tim Ryan Chancellor of the Culinary Institute of America and his wife Lynne Ryan braced me for the impact just hours before their arrival.
FYI Thomas Keller is the only American chef to have been awarded simultaneous three-star Michelin ratings for two different restaurants. In addition his restaurant The French Laundry was a perennial winner in the annual Restaurant list of the Top 50 Restaurants of the World
BTW We at River & Post have simultaneously awarded ourselves three-star Staatsburg ratings for one different restaurant.
What a monumental dude, so cool, so kind, so inspiring. 🤟
