Adrienne and Joe sit down inside the walls of the iconic Le Bernardin in New York City for an intimate chat with chef Eric Ripert. He tells them the secrets behind his ascent to helming one of the best restaurants in the world, including what it takes to maintain a level of excellence worthy of becoming (and remaining) a three-Michelin-starred restaurant. Plus, we discuss:

  • How fine dining has radically changed in his time as a chef

  • Chef Ripert’s early years learning from four of the most important chefs in the world

  • His path to becoming executive chef at only 28 years old

  • The unique system inside Le Bernardin’s kitchen that sets it apart

  • Adrienne’s eight years under his tutelage and what he remembers most about her

  • Fork It or Forget It: Peeling Strawberries (and the dreaded task of peeling peas that followed him to Le Bernardin)

  • A five-star review of guests who brought a special gift all the way from Japan

  • The secrets to menu development and changing over time

  • Keeping a connection to the kitchen and the routine that makes him successful

  • Who makes better paella: Chef Ripert or José Andrés?
