A tale of Eric Ziebold, former #2 at Thomas Keller’s The French Laundry

As told by Shuna Fish Lydon, former pastry chef at The French Laundry.

“No.” Eric said to calm them a bit, “Stand over here, I’m going to show you how to put out this table, I’m going to show you how to cook, how to work like a team, how to put out just one ticket.”

And then he did. He cooked every single course, by himself, with not another soul on the line touching sauce pots or spatulas or garnishes. He jumped this way and that, gracefully, using every part of his body, talking, admonishing, telling, teaching, showing, explaining as he went.

It was the most amazing thing I ever saw in a kitchen.

Eric took over the entire kitchen and cooked all those cooks under the fucking table.

Love reading stories of people just kicking ass at what they do best.
