When Margie rolls out a faboo dinner, at home or in a large group setting, folks ask me if I eat that way all the time. If I did, of course, I’d weigh a few hundred pounds more than I do. And the same sort of simpler life is true for actual professional chefs as well.<\/p>\n
What do famous chefs have for breakfast when they travel? Oatmeal, mostly.<\/p>\n
For lunch? Something light, perhaps grilled fish or an egg salad sandwich on whole-wheat toast. For a quick bite? A Whopper and fries will do nicely.<\/p>\n
Yes, when they are on the road, the stars of restaurants like Chez Panisse in Berkeley, Calif., and Daniel in Manhattan eat pretty much like you and me before 8 p.m.<\/p>\n
After 8 p.m., they get serious. They are adept at finding the best local restaurants, even in out-of-the-way villages, and they tuck into the foie gras and grilled turbot with gusto. But in general, they prefer simplicity at breakfast and lunch.<\/p>\n
Which reminds me of the Julia Child quote: “I … go to MacDonald’s and Burger King on occasion. What else are you going to do when you’re on the road and you have to dash in for some food? They are pretty good; they’re clean, and you know what you’re getting. I don’t know why anyone would think I always dine on hummingbird tongues or something.”<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" When Margie rolls out a faboo dinner, at home or in a large group setting, folks ask me if I eat that way all the time.
