So a couple of years ago, in 2011 to be exact, I had the opportunity to get "on the phone" avec Eric Ripert for an article I was writing about him, and Le Bernardin, for enRoute Magazine.
I listened to the interview again about a month ago and really liked it (duh, obviously, I'm talking to Chef Ripert... what's not to like?) so I contacted his (lovely) press people and they graciously gave me permission to post it here, on my little ol' blog.
Le sigh.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did:
