its nice to see world class chefs like Ripert recognise a colleague's food with such enthusiasm. Adria and those other spanish chefs seem to only really praise other spanish chefs, but never foreigners. I find off putting that level of arrogance and xenophobia. Thank god those faults, thank god, completely absent from this video

@TERRENCJJR I've eaten (lunch) at the French Launry with three friends. We were there for over five hours, had two bottles of wine, a bottle of champagne and several glasses of dessert wine at the end. The total bill came to well over $980.00.. This was in 2002.. Imagine the pricing now? BTW, I would have paid $980 just for MYSELF to eat there. The food, the atmosphere, the environment, all of it, was well worth every single penny.. I'd give my step-daughter to slavery to go back again!!!!

@aplayaz2000 It's a mindset rather than actual perfection. Once you reached perfection, you want to see if you can improve it.

Anthony Bourdain is I fine chef in his own right. I think his well rounded vocabulary and story telling abilities may shade his talent a bit but he is no joke. Now if you would like to get an idea of how good the food is just look at Eric Riperts child like grin throughout. They sat four hours and hours, I'm going to Yountville California if I have to crawl from N.Y.

Makes me wanna kill somebody so I can go on death row and ask for this exact meal as my last meal!!! But no I could never so let me start saving now and I will be able to afford this experience from the most awesome chef ever in about 10 years.

This is easily one of the most inspiring things I've ever seen.
