One of the things you notice after spending so many years in this business, is how chefs write their menus. Coming up on this week’s show, a behind-the-scenes look at how chefs write their menus, from casual to high-end, and some tips for budding restaurateurs who might be writing their own one day soon. Rick will weigh-in on the subject, then Steve and Rick will talk to the chef of a two-star Michelin restaurant about how he approaches his menu writing, and finally, a chef from a vegetable-centric restaurant tells us how he gets his customers excited using words to convey a feeling, and even more importantly, flavor.
