Wondering what you’ve been up to lately (a friend just now randomly forwarded me your post on Chocolatier Blue) – meeting Thomas Keller no less! As an Ad Hoc devotee myself, absolutely love this blog entry!

Congrats on getting to meet him Arnie. It sounds like a dream come true for you.

I second the new nickname for Arnie. CFB it is…lol.

HOW FUN! Lucky you! “Crazy Fan Boy” sounds like a compliment in my opinion…should we start calling you CFB?

I can’t believe I missed you there. Now that I see your photos, I think I do recall seeing you there. Drat! Next time, we’ll have to plan better so we can say hello in person. Awesome food at the event, wasn’t it? Totally dug the beef stroganoff. Must make that recipe! ;)

I went to Keller’s book signing at Omnivore which was crowded and didn’t have any food. :( Still, Chef Keller was gracious with everyone. That book is heavy! Looks like you had a fun time!

This is awesome, and I have complete appreciation for how excited you were to meet Chef Keller. I’m a big fan of his, but you seem to be a HUGE fan.

I met Tony Bourdain when he signed his Les Halles Cookbook years ago, and it was one of the coolest days of my life, especially since he actually turned out to be as cool as I thought he was.

Also, the Ad Hoc at Home book is excellent. Everything I’ve made from it so far has been off-the-charts delicious, and the precision technique in almost every dish has made cooking an exciting experience again and reminds me why I love doing it. Definitely a cookbook worth its weight.

Long time reader, first time commenter.

Mr. Keller will be here (Houston) for a book signing on Thursday and I am so excited.

Good pics and thanks for blogging.

That’s awesome!!! You’re right about the ratatouille brilliance, and it is so quintessential Thomas Keller, love it. Can’t wait to go eat there one day already! Thanks for sharing all this.

Congrats Arnold =)

That fried chicken always looks soooo good. I can’t wait until the next time I’m in the area. I’m definitely going to do my Thomas Keller Restaurant Group food tour.
