Anthony Bourdain: How I Learned To Cook

The panelists are Gabrielle Hamilton, chef/owner of Prune and Eric Ripert, chef at Le Bernardin. Michael Ruhlman, a journalist and author of The Soul of a Chef and The Making of a Chef, moderates.

    Bourdain is the soul reason why I cook for a living and also had single handedly shaped my own life and character. He was and is my number one inspiration both in work and life.

    My first job in a real kitchen was with a tyrant chef. It was 1989, I was 21, fresh out of military and was in no state of mind to put up with that. Even though I worked food service off and on afterwards, that was the end of my cooking dreams.

    the collective chuckle at 54:55 says all that anyone needs to know about the perceived value of the work that goes into satisfying the public with food on a daily basis. From the price of the meal, to the tip. Sure, the tipping system is archaic at best, but how can you manage customers' expectations, from the actual cost on every level to get the food on the plate to upholding the desired standard of service from a FOH perspective, all while being able as a business owner to reasonably afford paying a real living wage to every employee?

    I just got done cooking a whole duck with a Cornish Hen inside lol. The hen is a little dryer then I wished but the duck is just wow . That duck skin with hen meat soaked in drippings is just the best thing ever after a few shots of vodka chased with your favorite juice . its not a mcdonalds chicken nugget . So I am ok with it . It fell off the bone . I am good to go . I am just now finding his lives works and am feeling all his words . I never feel ok with who I am . I feel list and just stuck in this skin bag . But hearing him say the kids of things I wish I had the guts to say makes me proud of the fact that I once was a damn good dish washer . He makes me feel ok about the screw up I am . I feel ok with my 4 am duck stuffed with a hen with nothing added . It was simply sexy . If I could make out with food that duck mean raped in crispy duck skin wail I was buzzed makes me feel stronger and capable . I am ok .
