Greatest Chef Ever? Passes Away

Joël Robuchon has more Michelin stars than any other chef in history.  He opened his first restaurant, Jasmin, in 1981.  He was the contemporary to many fine chefs, like Gordon Ramsey which he argued was one of his most talented but frustrating chefs.  They often came to verbal blows, but one time Ramsey was just a little to snarky for Robuchon's liking so he threw a plate at him.  (I would have just clobbered him with my fist!)

He is best known in the states for his namesake restaurant in the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.  I never made it to his restaurants but it was always a dream of mine.  His food was meticulously prepared and he didn't accept anything but excellence.  The food world lost another titan of the industry.  Au revoir mon frere! We will still enjoy the recipes and the legacies you left behind.
