Chefs I recommend

Thomas Keller (Yountville, CA)

I was once lucky enough to have bagged a reservation at The French Laundry

Ming Tsai (Boston, MA)

I learned a lot about esoteric Chinese ingredients and how to use them.

Restaurants I Recommend

Villa Virella (Tunkhannock, PA)

John Virella retired two years ago and sold the restaurant, but I wanted to commemorate it in some way. It was a hidden jewel for many years and is sorely missed.
