SUMMARY

I remember Liam Neeson was in the kitchen of my first restaurant, he came into the kitchen with his plate and he said to me - this sauce, it tastes so complex and rich but I know its not, how do you do this?  I said to him that I realised that when I was on a farm, I told him the story of my pulling a peach down with my mother at 7 years old, and she took my hand and showed me the peach to eat.  Growing up on a farm and learning the difference from using something only 3 days later  - the value is better and the taste.  And constantly looking for those gifts from Mother Nature.  Lets say you find one - I always say I take that vegetable/food for a very long walk.  We have an intimate relationship.  We do all kinds of testing together - all kinds of techniques until I find the best way.  So that when I put another one (vegetable/food) with it, that Ive already done the same walk with, well theyre going to work together

 
If you’re in or visiting NYC, definitely check out the restaurant - it is quite literally incredible and such an experience with a very homely atmosphere and the at home section provides a fabulous eating experience, where there is no menu and you eat what the chef provides, its like stepping into someones house!
