Your references to Anthony Bourdain during your tasting of Mexico City are a nice remembrance for me… He was doing a book signing at our place, right after Hurricane Ivan took a couple of our walls with him… we were open to cook for the National Guard, contractors and brave homeowners trying to reconstruct their homes… still, there was a line waiting for Anthony to sign their copies of “Kitchen Confidential…” I had just finished prepping for supper when I walked out of the kitchen with my copy… I was standing in line when he must have noticed my disgusting apron I didn’t think to remove… he motioned me forward while saying, “line cooks don’t wait in line…” I was embarrassed, but he ignored that and asked, “What’s good today?” I responded with “I just made up a couple dozen crab cakes and they don’t suck…” He laughed and said, Drop two and I’ll see you in you kitchen…” one of the best days of my cooking life.
