Weemz and other culinary geniuses
Ever heard of Chef Eric Ripert?
Re: Weemz and other culinary geniuses
YES! i am subscribed to his blog.
one day, i will eat at le bernardin. i believe weemo ate there during her last NYC trip.
oh, and i'm not a culinary genius. i just like to eat and french accents.
jealousE of your trip even more now!
le bernardin has 3 michelin stars. the most possible. didn't know he had a restaurant in the cayman islands. mmm.
Courtesy of Wikipedia: Not EXACTLY his restaurant, but close enough!!
Ripert lent his name, talents, and several members of his team including Le Bernardin's then-sous chef Richard Brower to the Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman, in the form of two restaurants: Blue and Periwinkle. The former received an AAA Five Diamond Award, the only restaurant in the Caribbean to receive this rating. Both restaurants make creative and extensive use of local food products - particularly the lobster and red snapper, which are strictly sourced from the surrounding waters - as well as sea salt harvested by evaporation. Blue features a three course prix-fixe menu by tradition, as well as a six course taster menu and ? la carte selection. They were the first restaurants to bear Ripert's name and he reportedly brings a team to the restaurants once a month to ensure quality.
well he is chef and co-owner according to caymangoodtaste.com, so it is his restaurant. and the fact that the chef de cuisine was the sous chef at le bernardin means he definitely picked up a few things from eric ripert.
the menu sounds divine. nom nom seafood nom.
Have I ever heard of Ripert? I looooooove him!
We ate at Le Bernardin during our NYC trip in July. We spotted him briefly, but he was in and out too fast for me to go all paparazzi on his ass.
YAY!!!
he's been a judge on top chef a few times!
make sure to pronounce his name errrrrrrrrick ripperrrrrrrrr if you happen to run into him.
So are you going to eat at the restaurant? Please do and report back on the deliciousness!
I'm going to dig through my Flickr for some Le Bernardin pics to entice you....
Unedited Le Bernardin preview:
A place so fancy that your purse gets its own little stool.
Eric Ripert is freakin' hot!
Oh, and I'd like to eat his food one day, too.
You best believe I'll be eating there!! I don't know if I'll have the balls to take pictures, but I will definitely report back.
I hope I get a mini stool for my purse!!! Fancy!
I would watch a show that consisted of him just reading the phone book. He's a hottie with a sexy accent.
agreed. i love listening to the videos on his blog.
This thread made me look this guy up.
