"WILL YOU BECOME A SUPER CHEF?"
with Juliette Rossant,
Author of Super Chef: The Making of the Great Modern Restaurant Empires
(New York: Free Press, May 2004)

I can't believe that Todd English said to himself 20 years ago, "I want to own 20 restaurants": none of us did. We didn't have a model to do that, until Wolfgang Puck. When I started cooking when I was 15 years old, I had no idea - I didn't know what a "chef" was. -- Tom Colicchio, Super Chef, p. 214.

For the Forbes Celebrity Chef column Juliette Rossant interviewed over 50 great chefs, and for her book Super Chef: The Making of the Great Modern Restaurant Empires she focused on six "super chefs," in addition to their spouses, partners, lawyers, staff, and diners.

One of the possible conclusions to her book was to examine five sous chefs and the choices before them. While today's super chefs had no models, a new challenge to the young chefs of today is the super chef model itself. What are today's up-and-coming sous chefs deciding? Do they choose a life in a super chef's shadow, or do they break out on their own -- and, if on their own, on a smaller scale or to compete head-to-head as super chefs themselves?

Juliette will share these thoughts, as well as explore new variations in the super chef model as follows. Books will be available for purchase and signing:
