I only have a video of our main server and I did not get his name! But it’s a good thing he showed me his photo in one of the pages of the book haha!!
Here he is to the right of Chef Keller 🙂 
2 dishes that is always on the menu of @perseny and @_tfl_ #perse #frenchlaundry #h2hmichelinstar #h2hchocolate #h2hcaviar #h2hnyc
Chef Thomas Keller @chefthomaskeller makes sure that he gets his ingredients from the best purveyors. This butter is from a lady in Vermont who has 10 Jersey cows and she only supplies Chef Thomas for @perseny and @_tfl_ ? farmers & foragers
The act of cooking is a simple equation:
INGREDIENTS+ EXECUTION
Execution will always be in the hands of the chef and represents many elements—knowledge, training, experience, skill, tools—that contribute to the cuisine we serve. For an entire team of chefs working in concert to achieve proper execution is both a challenge and a vital aspect of a restaurant’s success, but here I would like to share with you the other equally important side of the equation.
When ingredients arrive at the restaurant they are, in one sense, already finished. At the stove, we have no control over how an animal was raised or the way a peach was harvested. As chefs, all we can do is to carefully select our suppliers and then work with them to ensure we get the best possible ingredients. Developing relationships is a fundamental part of any great chef ’s work and all that we have accomplished through the years has been made possible through partnerships with extraordinary purveyors. Our responsibility as chefs, then, is to support these individuals by executing dishes for your enjoyment that highlight and elevate the fruits of their labors.

Nothing beats homemade food and the kitchen bonding. See what unhealthy breakfast food we had 🙂 Problem is it only lasts the first few days when jetlagging haha!! 
One dinner we had all leftover food from all the restos- “Tira” buffet – choose and heat! haha!!! yum ! #h2hhomecooking
Paper plates!! haha!!
My siblings and I made a rule a few years ago that we will take turns accompanying dad and mom when they travel since they are already in their 70s. And though they are still very independent and strong, it’s more preventive ( why wait for something to happen?) and making sure someone assists & accompanies them. We are 5 siblings & we have difficulty keeping up with their schedule/pace :-O And when we are with them it’s not an easy task because they are so active. It’s a full time job haha!!! They in turn continue to still watch over us- me and my siblings rely so much on them. They continue to take good care of us. We enjoy being with them because they are so cool 🙂 And be assured you will never go hungry 🙂 which is why we gain so much weight :-O So blessed to have them and vice versa ( haha ) we hope 🙂 #h2hquotes
