I have had reservations booked at The Chef's House every Wednesday for the last 8 years at noon sharp. I've enjoyed the most pleasant of experiences a human palate can enjoy.. The Chef's House (nee Siegfried's) is a new name for a very old culinary philosophy: great ideas made well.
Lunch is one of the last innocent pleasures in life; it ought to be earned, yet simple and refreshing. The hour or more I spend amongst the ever-changing faces of these culinary visionaries is mostly spent pretending that I too could envision, build and share such delicious creations. Every ingredient has a destiny for greatness and its destiny is assured in the hands of these skilled and dedicated life-long Flavour Apprentices,.
Sitting in the restaurant watching the television screens shadowing each Chef coaxing their creations to its ripeness of life, is as much a pleasure as tasting it. For me, lunch at the Chef's House is what lunch was meant to be: a moment of pure innocence.
To the Instructor's, Staff and Students: a heart felt thank you, and see you Wednesday :)
