WHAT IS IT ABOUT FOOD THAT EXCITES ,TEMPTS AND TURNS YOU ON? IN THE KITCHEN WE HAVE ALWAYS HAD OUR OWN LANGUAGE. BALL BUSTING IS A GIVEN. THE LANGUAGE CHEFS SPEAK IS THEIR OWN, A SORT OF PATOIS, PIDGIN MADE UP OF BITS AND PIECES FROM THOSE OTHERS ( FRENCH, GERMAN, SWISS, BELGIUM, ITALIAN, SPANIARDS,JAPANESE, WHATEVER.) THAT WE HAVE WORKED WITH IN THE PAST. LEARNING QUICKLY TO UNDERSTAND THE VERBAL JABS, UNDER BREATH REMARKS, AND OF COURSE THE IN YOUR FACE "WHAT IS THIS SHIT". A DEFENSE MECHANISM IN THE ULTRA COMPETITIVE CULINARY WORLD. THE ULTIMATE REWARD ? TO USE THEIR WORDS ON THEM. OF COURSE NONE OF THIS HAS ANY BEARING ON THE CHOSEN TOPIC , BUT IT IS A RITE OF PASSAGE WHEN YOU CAN WITHOUT HESITATION RIP INTO THAT ARROGANT , NO TALENT FUCK, WHO FOR NO OTHER REASON THAN HE IS FROM SOME PART OF EUROPE DECIDES THAT YOUR PRODUCT IS INFERIOR JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE AN AMERICAN. SOME OF THEM ARE BETTER OFF MAKING SHOES. AND OF COURSE THERE IS THE ABILITY TO SWEAR LIKE A SAILOR IN A DOZEN OR SO LANGUAGES-- PRICELESS. ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU SEE THE LOOK ON THEIR FACE.
PLEASE DON'T TAKE THIS LAST STATEMENT THE WRONG WAY. MOST OF MY BEST FRIENDS AND RESPECTED COHORTS ARE EUROPEAN OF SOME SORT. I LOVE AND RESPECT THEM.

SITUATIONS LIKE THIS GIVE YOU A CHOICE. EITHER YOU GET MAD, WHICH NEVER DID ANYBODY ANY GOOD OR AS I , DECIDE TO BE BETTER THAN THEM ON ALL LEVELS. IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BEAT THEM ON THERE OWN TURF AT THEIR OWN GAME. IT IS A MORE ELEGANT SOLUTION. DAMN SWEDES. THERE WAS ONE THING THAT I NEVER WAS REALLY GOOD AT, DRINKING LARGE QUANTITIES OF ALCOHOL. I AM NO WIMP, BUT DO NOT GET INTO A DRINKING SITUATION WITH A SWEDE AND EXPECT TO SURVIVE.

THE SWEETEST REWARD IS THE RESPECT SHOWN TO YOU BY OTHERS. CLAUDE , A RESPECTED SOUS CHEF, WHO REALLY, REALLY WANTED TO BE GERMAN( WHY?) GOT INTO A DISCUSSION WITH ME ABOUT THE PROPER WAY TO MAKE A MORNAY SAUCE. I EXPLAINED MY TECHNIQUE AND HE RIPPED ME WITH THE STANDARD ESCOFFIE METHOD. WHETHER YOU USE ONE OR THE OTHER DOESN'T MATTER, IT IS FINAL PRODUCT THAT DOES. FINISHED WITH MY BREAK I ROUNDED THE CORNER ONLY TO SEE AND HEAR CLAUDE " THIS KID HAS STYLE" AS HE TASTED MY SAUCE. FROM THAT POINT ON RARELY DID HE QUESTION MY ABILITY. LIKE MAJIC HE BECAME MY BEST FRIEND OF SORTS, AND I WAS HIS GO TO IN A PINCH. BUT HEY, HE WAS ALSO THE GUY WHO WANTED ME TO USE THE MOUSE AND FECAL MATTER INFESTED LENITLS ONLY BECAUSE HE WAS TO LAZY TO GO THE STOREROOM. ADD EXTRA CURRY, GARLIC AND I THINK IT FLOATS , SO GET THE SKIMMER.

SOME CHEFS NEED NOT PROVE ANYTHING TO ANYONE. THEY ARE AMONG THE STRATOSPHERE. THERE ARE NEW MEMBERS OF THIS GROUP IN SPAIN, ITALY, THE U.S., AND ALL OVER THE WORLD. THESE CULINARY GENIUSES HAVE AND WILL CONTINUE TO EXPAND THROUGH INNOVATION ,INVENTION AND IMAGINATION. ALL ROOTED FIRMLY IN THE PAST WHILE LOOKING EVERMORE TOWARDS THE FUTURE. TASTE, TEXTURES, AND VISUALS WILL BE CONTINUALLY PUSHED. EACH HAS DISPLAYED ABILITY FEW WILL EVER HOPE TO OBTAIN, WE MORTALS HOPE SOME WILL RUB OFF. TO DOUBT THEM IS PATENTLY WRONG. MAYBE WE MAY NOT UNDERSTAND IMMEDIATELY,BUT ONCE WE SMELL, TASTE,AND TOUCH IT WILL BE FAMILIAR. ONE CAN ONLY HOPE THE PRODUCT LIVES UP TO THEIR EXPECTATIONS, NOT THE GUESTS. TO LEARN FROM THEM IS A RARE TREAT, FEW EVER GET TO EXPERIENCE. THEY TEND TO CIRCULATE ONLY WITH THOSE OF US WHO THEY FEEL COMFORTABLE.

HAVE YOU EVER SMELLED THE EARLY SUMMER AIR, SO CLEAN AND FRESH? VISITED YOUR FAVORITE FARM , CORN STILL WARM, POD PEAS, FRUITY ,LUSCIOUSNESS OF VINE TOMATOES,ALL MIXED WITH THE SCENT OF THE WELL USED WOODEN BASKETS USED TO CRADLE THEM? ORNERY SOFT SHELLS, FIESTY LOBSTERS, AND CHECK OUT THAT MARBLING.YOU KNOW INSTINCTIVELY TO NIGHTS MENU WILL ROCK. STAND BACK AND SURVEY THE BOUNTY. BECOMING INTIMATE WITH THESE,WHILE THOUGHTS OF THE COMING MEAL MAKE YOU SALIVATE. THOSE VERY THOUGHTS REMEMBERED FROM TIMES PAST STILL STIR ONES PALATE. WHO CAN DENY THE WANTON, COME ON AND TAKE ME SEXINESS OF A PERFECTLY RIPE PEACH, WHILE ITS JUICES FLOW DOWN THE CORNER OF YOUR MOUTH. THE TENDER FEEL OF KNEADING DOUGH, SUPPLE YET FIRM. JEAN JACQUES ONCE TOLD ME THAT COOKING IS LIKE SEX, YOU NEED TO FEEL, TASTE, TOUCH, SOMETIMES GENTLE, SOMETIMES ROUGH. THE TRICK IS ALWAYS KNOWING WHEN.
