If you are a foodie, the name Thomas Keller is probably familiar to you.  If you are a chef, Thomas Keller means something to you.  If you are a chef in Northern California, Chef Keller is a culinary legend.  The why’s and opinions about what he does are numerous.  I recall watching a show in which Anthony Bourdain, who doesn’t dish accolades to the undeserved, ate dinner at The French Laundry and was visibly moved by the mere presence of Thomas Keller, let alone the opportunity to eat his food.  To most chefs, the dedication, honesty and integrity of his approach to food is something we all should be inspired to achieve.  He is perhaps more god than legend!  To me, the explanation as to why can be summed up very simply, he does it right, all the time, every time.  Simple as that!
