Thomas Keller Quotes

I hope the cooks who are working for me now are getting that kind of experience so they can use what they’re learning now as a foundation for a great career Picture Quote #1

No, it's funny, when I eat out it's not typically in the kind of restaurants people might imagine Picture Quote #1

I came to understand that the words executive and corporate never belong next to the word chef Picture Quote #1

I guess the main source of stress for me is the stress I put on myself Picture Quote #1

Let’s face it: if you and I have the same capabilities, the same energy, the same staff, if the only thing that’s different between you and me is the products we can get, and I can get a better product than you, I’m going to be a better chef Picture Quote #1

Historically in restaurants, the service staff is awarded significantly higher wages than cooks and other staff who prepare the food on which a restaurant’s reputation is based. The gap in pay is so great that it is becoming increasingly difficult for young cooks to pursue their passion at the rate of pay restaurants are able to afford Picture Quote #1

Its not about passion. Passion is something that we tend to overemphasize, that we certainly place too much importance on. Passion ebbs and flows. To me, it’s about desire. If you have constant, unwavering desire to be a cook, then u’ll be a great cook Picture Quote #1

A cookbook must have recipes, but it shouldn’t be a blueprint. It should be more inspirational; it should be a guide Picture Quote #1

This is the great challenge: to maintain passion for the everyday routine and the endlessly repeated act, to derive deep gratification from the mundane Picture Quote #1

With passion, if you see the first asparagus of the springtime and you become passionate about it, so much the better, but three weeks later, when you’ve seen that asparagus every day now, passions have subsided. What’s going to make you treat the asparagus the same? It’s the desire Picture Quote #1

I didn’t want to be encumbered by what anyone elses abilities were, their equipment or environment or their ability to get certain products Picture Quote #1

For me, thats one of the important things about cooking. What was good enough yesterday may not be good enough today Picture Quote #1

I think that you’ve got to make something that pleases you and hope that other people feel the same way Picture Quote #1

When you acknowledge, as you must, that there is no such thing as perfect food, only the idea of it, then the real purpose of striving toward perfection becomes clear: to make people happy, that is what cooking is all about Picture Quote #1

We rely on our purveyors to tell us what’s available and what’s good Picture Quote #1

We go through our careers and things happen to us. Those experiences made me what I am Picture Quote #1

They know what my standards are. They know what I need and how to get it to me, and they know how to communicate with me if for some reason they can’t get it Picture Quote #1
