I love the way chefs handle food. What I mean to say is, I love the way that they touch it. But if you watch the food porn on TV, you’ll come away the impression that chefs spend their days tweezing single fennel fronds onto artfully composed plates. In this video, taken at Westchester Magazine’s Wine & Food Weekend at The Ritz-Carlton, Westchester, you’ll see how it really goes down. Crack go the ribs, but it’s not about brutality; just look at the way this chef tenderly caresses his raw material.
