  • This is a great TED Talk. He's not super energetic, but there's clearly a sense of excitement in his voice when he talks about the relationships. A lot of what he says applies to areas of life other than being a restauranteur: - Ingredients + Execution - Passion and Desire - Hiring, Training, Mentorship - Do a little better than yesterday - Having a dream is hard, living that dream is harder - Don't be afraid to fail, be afraid not to try Love it!

    Getting to see Chef Keller speak in person (at this event) was awesome. He even joined us for lunch and conversations, a truly amazing guy. The speech in context with everything that was InterConnectivity was quite powerful, and Thomas Keller was great.

    What Chef Keller has done for himself as well as the culinary industry in North America is extraordinary. His impact is far reaching in every aspect from suppliers, standards, etc to the cooks he trains who then become chefs of their own restaurants. Even if you never vist Bouchon, Per Se or the French Laundry you will still feel his impact to some regard even in your local restaurant. His groundbreaking cookbook has been so influential. As they say "A rising tide lifts all boats".
  • To this day this video has all the relevance. Admire his vision, dedication and humility. He really paved the path for many of us.
  • Great stuff. I could listen to him talk for hours. He's a visionary in his field and definitely somebody I admire.

    Thomas Keller is still a Chef and will always be, even if he retires he will be a Chef!

    I love this Ted Talk.  Thomas Keller in his speech is saying more than about the reach of a restaurant or advertising his restaurant, as another commentator put it.  More to the point he is talking about the high standards that should be achieved with any type of venture that is taken.
  • So cool he's on a Ted talk, had the honor for working for him for a brief stint in California. His standards are something to aspire to for sure
  • inspired. I will continue my dream... though it is hard.THX
  • Most restaurants like the French Laundry actually do make money. El Bulli was an exception. They put so much work into the stuff they do that they operate at a loss and make up the money in book sales.
  • I was waiting for the main lesson of his talk until the end. when is he going to talk about big picture? Then, I realize foolishness of mine and my perception. Always a legend👏🏼

    anyone who says this video is boring or uninteresting clearly isn't in the restaurant industry or if they are, doesn't give a shit about the culinary world.
