THOMAS KELLER QUOTES
I hope the cooks who are working for me now are getting that kind of experience so they can use what they're learning now as a foundation for a
great career.
I wanted to learn everything I could about what it takes to be a great chef. It was a turning point for me.
But once in a while you might see me at In and Out Burger; they make the best fast food hamburgers around
