The trial of a former Gadsden City High School teacher accused of having sex with an underage student, ends in a plea deal, after almost ending in a mistrial. The jury had actually retired to deliberate the case of Nicholas Smith, a former coach and teacher who was indicted for second degree sexual assault and possession of child pornography. But Etowah County Circuit Judge David Kimberly told the jury he was on the verge of calling a mistrial before both parties resolved the case. The resolution was a plea deal. Smith entered a guilty plea to aggravated child abuse, still a felony and still a crime with a two-to-twenty year sentence range. The plea also means Smith will not be classified as a sex offender. It followed a trial in which the suspect, the victim and a number of the victim's former classmates testified. Both Smith and the victim--a girl who was 15 at the time and is now college age--admitted they had a relationship in the spring of 2009. And that relationship involved Tiffany jewelry, a pet, a digital picture frame with two data cards--one showing pictures of the couple, a second showing other photos--and even shopping for engagement rings. Smith claimed despite that--and despite the fact he still loves her to this day--he never had sex with her until after her 16th birthday. The age of 16 is the legal age of consent in Alabama. Smith had not yet reached tenure in the Gadsden school system, and his contract was not renewed following his arrest. He was originally arrested at the very end of the 2008-2009 school year. Sources say the near-mistrial was apparently the result of a prosecutor speaking to a juror, just after the jury got the case. The prosecutor allegedly thought the juror was one of the alternates who had already been excused, but was mistaken. The prosecturors were from the state attorney general's office, because Etowah County District Attorney Jimmie Harp requested his office be recused from hearing the case. Smith will be sentenced March 15th.

Flickr Hive Mind is a search engine as well as an experiment in the power of Folksonomies. All thumbnail images come directly from Flickr, none are stored on Flickr Hive Mind. These photos are bound by the copyright and license of their owners, the thumbnail links take to you to the photos (as well as their copyright and license details) within Flickr. Because some other search engines (Google, etc.) index parts of Flickr Hive Mind, you may have been led here from one of them. Welcome to Flickr Hive Mind, almost certainly the best search engine for photography on the web. If you are a Flickr user and use Flickr Stats you may have seen people being led to your photos via Flickr Hive Mind (as a Referrer). Flickr requires that I inform you that Flickr Hive Mind uses the Flickr API, but is neither endorsed nor certified by them. There are literally hundreds of other web tools built around the Flickr API, see Flickr Bits for a bunch of examples. If you are unhappy with your photos' presence on this site, you can (a) make your photos private for yourself, friends, and family. These settings will be instantly honored by Flickr Hive Mind and all other API-driven applications. (b) Hide your photos globally from text and tag searches on 3rd party sites that use the Flickr API, via your preference settings on Flickr. See the privacy tab at: http://flickr.com/account/. To also remove yourself from searches for specific user names, you will need to set your Flickr profile to be hidden from searches. Flickr has finally created a single page with all these settings, this is much easier to do now and is the preferred method - it will shut down all API driven sites. (c) Finally, you can Banish Yourself From Flickr Hive Mind. To banish yourself from Flickr Hive Mind, you must first authenticate to Flickr, which lets Flickr Hive Mind identify who you are. Once logged in, come back to this area and there will be a link to banish you. If there are any problems email me at nosflickrhivemind ... at ... fiveprime ... dot ... org.

Max vehemently denies David's accusations. David asks to see Max's secret phone; Max claims he only used it to phone a married woman and lost it weeks ago. When Max won't name the woman, David gets into a car telling Max he can talk to the police. Max stops David driving away and admits he was seeing Lucy but insists it was a just quick fling which ended when Lucy started seeing Lee. He claims he didn't care enough to be jealous and would never, ever have hurt Lucy.
David admits he knows that but thinks that if he can get Max to crack so easily, the police will too – and they really will think he killed her. Scared he'll lose Lauren, Max refuses to go to the police himself. David heads straight to the Beales' to tell Ian but is stopped in his tracks when he finds Peter and Lauren there and Ian asleep. Back outside, David tells Max he's kept his secret but won't cover for him again. Max takes his secret mobile out of his office drawer then remembers the CCTV cameras. He watches the CCTV footage of him and Lucy arguing on the night of her death, then deletes the files for the first 18 days of April.
Carol's not looking well but persuades Whitney to go out, insisting she'll go straight back to bed. However, once Whitney's gone, Carol puts on make-up.

After talking to Whitney, they go home to check on Carol and find her in the middle of a wig fitting session; Carol's mortified but Sonia and Bianca insist on staying. Carol agrees to try a wig on; she goes into the hallway for privacy but a bickering Sonia and Bianca walk in on her and realise she's now completely bald. Carol tries to joke about it but later becomes tearful.
She admits she feels bad for being superficial but thinks people are looking at her with pity. Bianca once again lectures Sonia about going to the doctor to find out her options and insists she wouldn't care who Sonia kissed if she thought Sonia wanted it. After Carol chooses a wig, Sonia and Bianca's bickering escalates until Bianca blurts out that Sonia can choose whichever wig she likes when she gets cancer. Sonia storms out into the Square, with Bianca and Carol in pursuit; Bianca and Sonia's argument continues but comes to an abrupt end when Carol collapses.
Ian searches for clues in the boxes of Lucy's belongings. Finding a necklace, Ian wonders if it was a gift from the man Lucy was seeing. Peter gently reminds Ian it was a Christmas present from him and Denise. He sends Ian to bed. Peter returns an MP3 player Lauren had lent to Lucy. Lauren helps Peter put Lucy's things back in her room exactly as they were when she was alive. Peter admits he keeps thinking Lucy's going to walk back in the door. Later, Peter thanks Lauren. Lauren doesn't think she did much but Peter insists she did; he hugs her for a little too long.
Tina leaves Tosh a grovelling voicemail message; she admits to Jake she's in the doghouse and Tosh doesn't even know she kissed someone else.

After avoiding the bed on the first night of a business trip due to the curly hairs I found hidden within it, I also discovered the need to share the restroom with insects. I didn't find the time to cancel the remainder of my stay until after their standard check-out times. They refused to refund me for the second night that I did NOT spend there, and also charged me for taxes despite my tax-exempt status. When I called them after the conclusion of the business trip, they took down my information but never returned my call to correct anything. While the price may tempt you, please avoid staying here for the sake of your health and peace of mind.

What is the top public health issue facing the U.S.? (Poll)
- Elizabeth Hayes
- Staff Reporter- Portland Business Journal
- Email | Twitter
Many pressing public health issues are facing Oregon and the entire country.
We are asking readers to pinpoint which issue is No. 1. We narrowed the field to four choices: Obesity, gun violence, addiction and cancer. And if you think there's something out there that should be moved to the top of the list, please select "other" and leave a comment.
An argument could be made for any of the four.
Let's take obesity. In 1990, every state had 15 percent or fewer residents who were obese, which means a body mass index of 30 or higher; In 2010, every state had at least 20 percent. A dozen states top the 30 percent mark.
Obesity is linked to a host of other health problems, including heart disease, hypertension and diabetes. And, for the most part, it's preventable (for readers who haven't seen the new documentary "Fed Up," I highly recommend it).
Then there's gun violence. This one was brought into full public view this week with the shootings at Reynolds High School in Troutdale, which left two students dead, including the gunman. There were 33,687 firearms deaths in 2010, according to the Centers for Disease Control. The U.S. firearm homicide rate is 20 times higher than the combined rates of 22 countries that are peers of the U.S. in wealth and population.
Addiction is also a serious and high profile problem, with celebrities such as Cory Montieth and Philip Seymour Hoffman dying from heroin overdoses. The opioid scourge has left its mark in Oregon, which has the highest rate of nonmedical prescription pain reliever use in the country. Click here for a link to our "Price of Addiction" series to learn more about this scourge.

Stags hooker Brayden Mitchell has signed with Waikato for this year's NPC, and second rower Josh Bekhuis and flanker Tim Boys are both looking at their options.
Bekhuis and Boys have played more than 150 games for Southland between them.
Rugby Southland general manager Brian Hopley said it was frustrating to lose a player like Mitchell, who has been groomed for several seasons for a starting role with the Stags.
"It's not what you want, to see a guy go, but it's a personal choice that a person has to make and there's not a lot you can do about that."
A New Zealand under 20 representative in 2009, Mitchell has been part of the Stags squad since that time, but has only managed 21 games in four seasons.
Injuries and an inability to force his way past veterans Jason Rutledge and David Hall has stymied his career, although that hasn't denied him further honours, having been involved with the Highlanders at some level since 2010.
To Mitchell's credit, he had kept at least one member of staff who had worked hard to develop his career abreast of his plans throughout.
Hopley believed the union had done what it could to retain the 24-year-old.
"I think he was looking for a change, the feedback I've got is that he thought he needed a change, to resurrect or enhance his career."
Hopley wouldn't say which other players are off contract at the moment, although when asked specifically about Bekhuis and Boys, he confirmed they were on the list.
"We've got a few other players to sign and we are talking to them through their agents.
Hopley said a list of players the union had contracted could be made available today. Negotiations with Bekhuis were being held up while he sorted out his Super Rugby contract with the New Zealand Rugby Union, Hopley said.
Touted early in his career as a future All Black, Bekhuis has played a lot of rugby for the Highlanders but struggled to reach a level that would attract the attention of the All Black coaches.
It's understood he's been frustrated in the past with the type of game he's been asked to play for the Highlanders and he could look at other franchises, or even a move overseas.
Rugby Southland has seen a host of players exit stage left over the past two years as the union cut costs. In the wake of Southland's 2009 Ranfurly Shield win over Canterbury, an ineffective board allowed then-chief executive Roger Clark to sign players to contracts the union couldn't afford.
Southland rugby went close to bankruptcy before being bailed out for the second time in three years by community funders and the New Zealand Rugby Union.
Those historic contracts have slowly come due and Rugby Southland has seen several players leave for better opportunities.
Eight of the players who helped Southland regain the Ranfurly Shield from Canterbury in 2011 - Glen Horton, Kendrick Lynn, Matt Saunders, James Wilson, Scott Cowan, Joe Tuineau, Chris King and David Hall - have left, with Saunders the only one remaining.
Add Mitchell and Jimmy Cowan, who headed to Gloucester as his All Black career wound up, and possibly several others to that list, and the exodus begins to look like a flood of equally biblical proportions.

I'll tell you, you give yourself WAY too much self importance. I have put up with your nonsense of controlling how the conversation will go on, dragging it out, and demanding special treatment from me just about enough. In fact, that's enough. I have been more than fair to allow this nonsense continue which I normally do not, and I have allowed it for long enough. Back to having regular conversations with regular posters who do not demand special treatment. I have never run into anybody who demands such special treatment. And then, after these demands you make, I find out that your reasoning skills are sorely lacking. That makes it even far worse. You don't deserve the respect you demand. Get a proper education and then come back and demand your respect. How come everybody else can carry on a conversation the way they are normally carried on in a discussion forum but you can't?<quoted text>
So you think and take these discussions like walking and chewing gum?
May be that is the reason your posts so lack in conviction.
What a horrible waste of time this has been, and I even knew it would be and predicted that many times. I knew right from the beginning that your behavior suggested less than adequate reasoning skills and education.

Lightwareâs 25G Hybrid Matrix Will Take the Matrix Switch to the Third Dimension at INFOCOMM 2012
Lightware U.S.A. will unveil its groundbreaking 25G Hybrid Matrix router at INFOCOMM 2012 in Las Vegas, NV, June 13-15. The company will have the product on hand at its booth, N669, as well as providing an in-depth overview of the system for press and attendees on June 14 at 10:00 AM in Room N207.
With its 25G Hybrid Matrix Lightware reinvents the meaning of the matrix switch. Until now systems have operated in two dimensions, with inputs and outputs. But Lightware has now added a third dimension – media layers – and set a new standard for the AV industry.
Lightware's new system is not only a matrix, but a complete signal architecture: a cloud that supports eight media layers: video, audio, Ethernet, USB KVM, USB 2.0, IR, RS-232 and CEC channels. All layers are supported by 25G Hybrid signal management; inside the cloud all the layers are independent for switching and extending all signal layers separately.
25G Hybrid signal architecture allows video, audio and media layers to be transmitted over a single fiber or one CAT5 cable so AV professionals can build a very simple system, which still supports all eight media layers. The 25G Hybrid Matrix has 160 inputs and 160 outputs and a total throughput of 4TB per second. It offers exceptional 25 gigabits per second data rate switching for transporting next generation video signals, such as HDMI 1.4 and DisplayPort 1.2, and handling all future video and audio standards, including 4K resolution and stereo 3D formats.
Each video port is equipped with a separate audio input and output connector forming a 320×320 S/P/DIF crosspoint switch. It manages stereo and multichannel audio as well as high bitrate formats like Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio. Optional multichannel to stereo downmixing is available.
25G Hybrid technology is more than just a switcher, however. As a comprehensive line of digital matrix switchers, transmitters and receivers, 25G Hybrid combines switching with a powerful suite of diagnostic software tools for the digital age, delivering a superior user experience.
About Lightware U.S.A.
Lightware U.S.A. is the US distributor of professional AV products manufactured by Lightware Visual Engineering in Budapest, Hungary. For more information on these products, visit www.lightwareUSA.com.

Mayoral candidates debate ways to make city more accessible for disabled
It was a friendly debate Wednesday night as four of Toronto's five leading mayoral candidates discussed ways to tackle accessibility problems in public transit, community housing and local jobs.
It was a friendly debate Wednesday night as four of Toronto's five leading mayoral candidates discussed ways to tackle accessibility problems in public transit, community housing and local jobs.
TVO's Steve Paikin moderated the debate, which included Olivia Chow, David Soknacki, Karen Stintz and John Tory. Notably absent was Mayor Rob Ford, who will return from two months of addiction treatment at a Muskoka-area rehabilitation facility on June 30.
The night's questions mostly revolved around transit. Candidates unanimously agreed on the need for a reduced TTC fare for people on the Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP).
"Reducing fares would cost the TTC about $6 million a year. I'm willing to move towards that," Chow told the crowd gathered at Metro Hall.
Tory listed off cities — "Calgary, New York, Ottawa, Vancouver, Montreal, Chicago" — that have all reduced transit costs for disabled people.
"They've all found a way to do this. We need to commit ourselves to doing exactly the same thing," Tory said.
More Wheel-Trans buses, added seating at bus shelters, more elevators and wheelchair-friendly streetcars were floated as possible solutions. Chow said her Scarborough LRT plan would leave money for these improvements.
"We can't put in a billion into the Scarborough subway because we can build above-ground service faster, and some of that money can come to buy Wheel-Trans buses," she said.
Tory rebutted, saying Chow's rejection of the Scarborough subway discounts financial offers for the subway from the provincial and federal governments.
"I believe the Scarborough subway will be a good investment," Tory insisted.
Throughout the two-hour debate, candidates largely agreed on ways to make Toronto more disability-friendly. On affordable housing, they agreed to set a higher bar for the Toronto Community Housing Corporation.
"Right now, (TCHC) is the worst landlord in the city," Stintz said. "We've had too much. Scandal after scandal after scandal, and nothing undermines the public conscience more."
Tory and Chow attacked Councillor Doug Ford's recent comments about the Griffin Centre, a residential home for young people with disabilities, which Ford said "ruined" the Etobicoke neighbourhood after it moved in. He has defended his comments, saying the neighbourhood has "turned into an absolute nightmare."
Asked how he would make Toronto more inclusive, Tory said: "I won't do what we've seen done, which is to inflame the situation . . . I'm talking about group homes, of how they somehow ruin communities. That's what I won't do."
Chow was more direct in her jab, saying the city should have an anti-discrimination policy for instances such as "when Doug Ford makes comments about the Griffin Centre."
Candidates agreed to push for "plain language" communications coming out of city hall, a benefit for those with learning disabilities.
"I think there are many citizens who would make use of plain language who do not have a disability," Tory said.
Chow agreed. "It's a no brainer," she said.

International Edition
5@5 is a daily, food-related list from chefs, writers, political pundits, musicians, actors, and all manner of opinionated people from around the globe.
Thomas Keller is arguably one of the most recognized and respected American chefs in the world - a bona fide culinary god to those in the industry. See him walk into a room and watch as food fiends bow in his presence shouting, "we're not worthy!"
Chef Keller has waaaaay too many accolades to name - we'd be here all night - but for a goût: he's the only American-born chef to hold multiple three-star ratings by the Michelin Guide, and has received numerous awards from the James Beard Foundation, including "Best Chef in America." The Thomas Keller Restaurant Group currently consists of the culinary meccas, The French Laundry and Per Se, as well as Bouchon, Ad Hoc and Bouchon Bakery.
Want to follow in his footsteps? Here's some required reading. Hope you brought your library card.
Five Books that are Required Reading for All New Culinary Team Members: Thomas Keller 1. "Ma Gastronomie," Fernand Point "This book was first given to me by my mentor, Roland Henin. The chef/author Fernand Point purposefully wrote his recipes without any specific directions and ingredient amounts, so one's success is directly proportional to one's level and skill of cooking at that moment. Every time I improved, so did my interpretation and execution of that particular dish."
2. "Le Repertoire de la Cuisine," Louis Saulnier "[It] includes all the classics to help improve and expand one's foundation in cooking."
3. "Great Chefs of France," Anthony Blake "This book opened my eyes and made me realize that cooking is not a career, but a lifestyle."
4. "On Food and Cooking," Harold McGee "Harold McGee has given us a true understanding of the interaction foods have with one another. He is the single most important authority on the subject."
5. "The French Laundry Cookbook," Thomas Keller "I use this book as a tool for our new cooks to understand and gain insight on my philosophy about cooking. More importantly, the book underscores how much we value our relationships with our purveyors."
After study just a few of the blog posts in your website now, and I actually like your way of blogging. I bookmarked it to my bookmark website listing and shall be checking again soon. Pls check out my website as properly and let me know what you think.
Definitely believe that which you stated. Your favorite justification seemed to be on the net the simplest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I certainly get irked while people think about worries that they plainly don't know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and defined out the whole thing without having side effect , people could take a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thanks
Wow that was unusual. I just wrote an incredibly long comment but after I clicked submit my comment didn't show up. Grrrr... well I'm not writing all that over again. Anyway, just wanted to say fantastic blog!
I just like the helpful information you provide on your articles. I'll bookmark your blog and check once more right here frequently. I am moderately certain I will be told plenty of new stuff right right here! Best of luck for the next!
Ah..........the Old Days.
I had a fantastic menu at Per Se earlier this year. Worth it. And if there's black truffle for an added charge, GET IT. Soooo worth it.
On Food and Cooking by McGee or go home.
Hello? Did anyone read that this "Must Read" list was a "must read' list FOR HIS STAFF?!?
Note: As the wife of a professional chef, one who has run restaurants making the top 25 list in three different B cities (not NYC, Las Vegas, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago but major Metropolitan areas nonetheless) Thomas Keller's bookS ARE among his favorites.
True chefs rarely get to cook during service, but they do often prep food before service and they do oversee and train their staff. In many cities the staffs are not illegals, but I'm not sure how that matters. Some of the most talented cooks I've ever met were of questionable green card status...
Thomas Keller does NOT cook your food when you eat at his restaurant. No 'celebrity chef' cooks. Actually most 'chefs' don't cook. They manage all aspects of the restaurants menu presentations. The food you eat at the restaurant, for the most part, is prepared by illegal immigrants from Mexico, El Salvador or Ecaudor. Read Anthony Bourdain's 'Kitchen Confidential' and 'Medium Raw'......the unvarnished truth about restaurant kitchens
some do, example Michael Chirello, Bottega in Yountville (just across the street from Bouchon, down the street from French Laundry)
Nobody noticed that this guy literally selected HIS OWN COOKBOOK as one of his top 5? What the hell? Thats about as arrogant as they come. Seriously. Way to sell a few more books there, buckaroo.
I noticed. Isn't god allowed to do a little shameless self-promoting.
I've never eaten at Chef Keller's restaurants. I'm sure the experience could be memorable, positively or negatively. The truth is, Keller can't cook at each restaurant every day all the time – he can't be in two places at once. He has a staff trained to replicate his menu, he has staff who are trained to serve the customers. These staff (kitchen or front of house) are supposed to uphold the chef (and/or owner's) expectations and quality standards.
If one's experience is lacking, or the food sub-par, I'd venture to say that it is the chef (and/or owner's) fault and responsibility to correct.
Having said that, some of the absolute best dining experiences my wife and I have enjoyed have been at the small, hole-in-the-wall Mom & Pop places that can serve 10-15 tables a turn. I've eaten in some fancy places before but it is the "off the beaten path" places I remember most. Those places you find down a dark alley, down a staircase, with a most heavenly aroma of good food emanates. Worked by a chef who has passion for food and pleasing his/her customer.
Dear Blogger: when you said, "but for a goût", did you use "goût" as in "taste", meaning "small bite"? Because the phrase "Chacun a son goût" may be the equivalent of "to each his own taste", but the word's meaning is closer to "preference", or pattern of preferences. If I misunderstood your intent, I apologize.
You don't order at Per Se or French Laundry. Both are prix-fixe menus. You choose which menu and eat what you are served. I suppose if you had dietary restrictions they would be honored, but I don't know that as I didn't request any modifications on my one visit to each restaurant. Can't speak to Bouchon – never had the opportunity to dine there.
It is a shame if there have been such service blunders. Our experiences were both exquisite; we were even offered a tour of the kitchen and got the chance to shake Chef Keller's hand at Per Se. It is inexcusable that service does not live up to the food and that is something that Chef needs to handle quickly.
For the record, it is absolutely ludicrous to assume that NO mistakes will be made. Are any of you infallible? It is how such errors are handled that should be the test. It seems that the ball was dropped there, as well, and that is what is most distressing.
To the disappointed couple who couldn't eat ON their anniversary. Why insist on a refund? Why not try another date – it's common knowledge that reservations at TK restaurants are extremely difficult to get. Others called before you did, is that Mr. Keller or his staff's fault?
Seems to me that no person or business is going to have a 100% success/satisfaction rate. The chef's talent/skill/accomplishment simply doesn't alter the fact that some persons have had experiences at his restaurant(s) that they felt were unsatisfactory. That's no slur on him as a preparer-of-food; especially when he likely wasn't even in the restaurant at the time. The weak link in the chain of Master Chef-> customer's dining experience seems to be that others, less expert, less committed, less personally invested, are entrusted with conveying the Master Chef's vision, food, etc. There isn't really any other way for one Master Chef to 'feed' thousands of people a day, and it does produce error rates which wouldn't be the case if the MC was doing it all him/herself.
Three more I would add to the list:
1) Mastering the Art of French Cooking - Julia Child. I know, kind of a populist book, but the information is good.
2) Theory and Practice of Good Cooking - James Beard. An outstanding "how to" of all the basics.
3) Beard on Bread - James Beard. A great reference on the art of baking bread.
What ever happened to the "old school" established materials like The Joy of Cooking and Larousse Gastronomique?
Thank you Mr Beard for kindly including your works on your list as well.
Boy, I can't believe what I started by actually daring to criticize Thomas Keller, aka "God." I forgot to mention my favorite annoyance. Since it was LA, we called to say we may be late. It appears their phone system was installed by the same folks who did the French Laundry. They had voice mail answering ("Press one for the kitchen staff, if you know the extension of the person you're trying to reach..." ). I couldn't get over that. They didn't even have a human answering the phone. And when we arrived, right on time, they made us wait 20 minutes for our noisy table and bad food. One person in my party actually returned a week or so later and said it was great. "You just have to be careful about what you order and hope they seat you away from all the noise." What is it about people that makes us actually seek out situations that make us feel defiled, humiliated and abused?
press two for the
Could not agree more with you....service is the absolutely first and foremost. Food is always secondary. Guests will always forgive poor food, but never poor, unpolished or arrogant service.
What, you expect god to answer the phone? That deserves a quick trip straight to hell, or Olive Garden, which ever has the first available seating.
I look forward to perusing through these books. Thank you for providing a little more insight into Thomas Keller that rounds out the philosophy already conveyed in his cookbooks. My wife loves them. My wife and I have been dining at Per Se for years and when we are on the West coast and available to visit, have also enjoyed the French Laundry. While we have never dined at Bouchon, the service and attention we received at the two locations has been perfect, each time. I highly recommend it! You can even ask them to honor being placed in a quieter area, as we do. But the reason we go is to enjoy each other's company while enjoying his delicious and novel combination of food, its preparation, the extraordinary attention to detail and the intricate levels of flavor the first bite of each service provides. We look forward to each dinner with giddy anticipation.
why is this a "must read"? i dont think so. i click on the link and there is a list of other things i must read. why does this guy have a blog on here? oh yea, i forgot, any and everyone has a blog these days.
He may be a fine chef and know French Food inside and out, but it sounds like he needs to retrain his staff and do some food quality control. Otherwise, I don't care how much of a "GOD" you are, enough bad publicity about negative food dining experiences will make for lousy business.
i didn't read the article because i don't like when a guy who wears a ridiculous hat to work tells me to do something
Thomas Keller is a great chef and a superb human being. There's something wrong and quite off with the naysayers.
Have you tried Tom's Blumpkin Pie? It's delicious.
Both your posting name and you post should be expunged from this site.
Who are you? People like you drag this planet down. I bet you chastise your wife (if you have one) in public. One of those kind of guys. It's unfortunate humor cannot be surgically reattached once lost.
Expunge this...........
Waa, waa, waa... Get a life
French Laundry is gay. Taqueria Can-Cun is better, and what frickin lazy french people actually do laundry. Should be called the Mexican lavanderia. Overrated. Cyrus is much better.
Tom Golicchio if you knew ANY of the history of The French Laundry, you would know why it is named that. It has nothing to do with french people.
Sure, not a morsel of bad food in Italy. But the anticipation and participation of dining at Keller's places is worth the wait and the cost. The care and execution of a birthday dinner for favorite nephew was impeccable; yes, there was a special cake. Each visit has been an exquisite dining experience. Long live Chef Keller!
In the end, the best restaurants are the small ones in Europe where pretention doesn't rule. While I'm sure he is a great cook, customer service is clearly a problem of his and some of you may think its normal, but its not. Nor is it acceptable, nor should you put up with it. Vote with your dollars elsewhere.
In L.A., go to Craft, the London or the Bazaar. Hell, even Maestros has better customer service, which is amazing as its way busier than Bouchon.
If not, travel around the world, go to the small mom & pop restaurants of Europe and ditch the Kellers of the world to the nouveau food enthusiasts who don't know any better or think snobbery apparently makes food taste better. The rest of us world travelers know we can get the same meal, at 90% less, by just being adventurous, especially in Europe.
Tom is a perfectionist, and he is still it the top of his game. It all starts with the products, and he sources and interprets them as well as anyone on the planet. If you have seen his kiitchen, you know he is uncompromising. Hats and tocques off. GJ.
Dinner at the French Laundry about 10 years ago – it was a special occasion and we were from New England ...it was totally worth the reservation ordeal. We had a fabulous dinner and it was such a memorable night. I still keep my clothespin on the shelf in the kitchen – it makes me smile. Just wish I had met Thomas Keller when i was there.
We dined with a party of ten in Sept. 2006 and 2007. At our 2007 seating they forgot the promised birthday cake and 5 of the 9 dishes were the same as the previous year. When we emailed and asked them to vary the menu, Thomas Keller called us personally and said, "If you don't like what I serve, don't come." We cancelled and will now dine at Gary Danko's in S.F., a much better restaurant. French Laundry is SO not worth what they charge you.
You're complaining about a meal from 2006? Wow. Lighten up. Asking for them to generate a Birthday cake is rude. I'm pretty sure they don't have random Birthday cakes for those occasional customers, like yourself that ask for it. Resist the temptation to go again for they're likely not going to corral the staff to your table either and to belt out a tune.
Again, falling short of customer expectations is not someth9ing to laugh at or ridicule the customer about. The fact that she remembers how bad it was shows you what a poorly memorable experience it was. And from that long ago? Yeah, clearly, this was a poor customer service experience of a LIFETIME. Congrats Keller!
Isnt it amazing to you that this short comment box is loaded with people complaining about the service? But you're correct, we should all pull down our pants and let Keller do his thing? Get real and get some standards.
Mr. Keller needs to pay more attention to his customers. My children pooled their money to buy us a gift certificate to the French Laundry for our 35th wedding anniversary. After two years trying to get through the busy signal (the rules are very strict – you must call exactly two months before the date you want, and at exactly 9:00am or the restaurant is sold out for that date), I finally got a human being on the phone, who told me they had already sold out the date. I asked him to refund the gift certificate, and was told there are no refunds!
You asked for a refund? Real classy. I feel for your kids – they thought to get you out, to explore your surroundings and expand your palate. They're likely tired of those trips to the OliveGarden too.
So someone shouldn't ask for a gift certificate refund when they can't get a reservation on their anniversary?.... wtf is wrong with you. Olive Garden? bet you were waiting for just the right online moment to slip that snide comment in and show everyone what a foodie you are . . .hahahaha
Mr. Keller is indeed a God. And all knowing. But he is also a busy man and as surprising as this may sound to you, He really can not keep track of when it's your anniversary, and additionally leave a few tables free, should you happen to call. I'm going to go out on a limb with this one...but you probably would not have enjoyed your experience anyway. ( they don't have those garlic breadsticks )
Wow thanks for going out on that limb, and giving us all that information about restaurants and stuff. You must really be in the know. I'd pick your brain for some more pearls of wisdom but alas, you're probably busy planning your next alsatian gastro-tour. I'm going to go out on a limb too (hey this is fun!): you may be just the right flavor of sucker these faux foodie joints love; the putz who equates detached pretension and crap service with a transcendental dining experience. hahahaha eat up !!!
yeah odog, they give the james beard award to anyone, just for being pretentious. it's not like chef keller worked his ass off to earn it. and pretty much every professional chef idolizes him just cuz he's an asshole (which is why we act like assholes too). and every restaurant gets european michelin star rated. chefs in france have literally killed themselves over those stars. he is a culinary god for a reason. go pick up one of his cookbooks, he is the chef equivalent of da vinci.
I've eaten all over the world and crap servie doesn't belong anwhere, ESPECIALLY expensive Restaurants. So please, anyone who thinks its normal or acceptable for the Restaurant to not bend over backwards to serve the customer deserves the treatment that is apparently quite common at his Restauants. And when making reservations is a hassle and that hard, that means the restaurant could care less about its customers.
Perhaps Mr. Keller & his staff deserve a lesson in humility and customer service.
hahahaha the da Vinci of cooking. Is that like the Roger Federer of poetry? wtf . . . . Lets see if we can clarify. People are complaining about the service at some of his restaurants, and you are countering with "But he's the Copernicus of soufflés!". Unless da Vinci himself is taking reservations, seating people, taking orders, and serving the food, how are Keller's chef skills relevant? Unless . . wait, . . . maybe he's the Einstein of restauranteurs.
As for chefs killing themselves for Michelin stars .. . . probably not the best tactic . . if you think it through
Odog – learn to read. No one said people killed themselves to get stars, someone said people have killed themselves over stars. If they lost a star or not gotten a star people have killed themselves. I agree it's certainly not the smartest move but it happens none the less.
As far as how are Kellers skills relevant, are you serious? He came up with the food, the restaurant, the experience. Just because he probably didn't cook it, it is still his food.
I've been to Per Se twice, unquestionably the best food and best overall dining experience I have ever had. There is a reason it costs what it does and it's worth every penny.
Cb, Learn to eat. hahaha Holy crap! twice at Per Se . . . I guess I should defer as you must know what you're talking about. Again, nobody cares that you had a great time. The point is people say the service blows when they've gone. As for killing yourself to get a star, for losing a star, or for anything having remotely to do with michelin stars, or ANY award in ANY field for that matter; it is moronic.
btw, they give out any stars in your line of work?
Then you call them back and tell them that it's illegal in the State of California to take money for a gift certificate and the service is not rendered.
Not kidding, contact the state if you want to verify this. You cannot sell a gift certificate and refuse to honor it. Doesn't even matter if the thing is expired. You cannot take money and give nothing. Illegal activity. This applies to all businesses, snotty or not.
They didn't deny service, they were booked on the only day this guy would go, he had to go on his birthday but now comes in here and rips TK despite never having even eaten his food. They will gladly accept his gift certificate as long as they have a reservation and go and use it. Its rare gift certs are refundable.
They must refund the gift certificate in the State of California. If you request a refund, they must refund your money. It does not matter if you can or can't get a reservation. State law is state law, and last time I checked, Napa Valley is still in the land of fruits and nuts.
Went to The French Laundry. I had high expectations and was very very excited. Turned out to be a disappointment. Maybe I was too excited and expected too much. My husband's scallop was overdone, the tuna sashimi was nothing special (ooo, bell pepper extract in FOAM!) and overall, it was... ok. Nothing special. That was it. Nothing special.
Darn it...
Early this year I was stepping off the elevator at Columbus Circle when I was making eye contact with some guy whose path I had to cross - when I realized it was Him - immediately an image of twice cooked gnocchi in butter served with pan cooked tomatoes and yellow & green squash came to mind and followed by a rapid succession of detailed particulars in his cookbooks which I identify with and appreciate. Perhaps if I had one more second, I would have snapped out of it to smile to extend a nod of gratitude.
It was good to find this reading list as I am about to begin the plunge into culinary arts after working in tech support for the past 5-6 years. To prepare I have started reading up on some of these books, My copy of Harold McGee just arrived the other day which I've heard about in several other books I was looking through. I just finished "The Making of a Chef: Mastering Heat at the Culinary Institute of America" by Michael Ruhlman which I'd recommend to anyone considering a career in the culinary world. I might have to add the other books on his list to mine. McGee is going to keep me pretty busy at its sheer 800 pages and wealth of information. It's basically a cooking science textbook.
Bouchon in L.A.is a joke with terrible customer service. I went there, with reservations, on a Friday night and was ketp waiting with barely an apology for an hour and half. The surely staff's attitude of who gives a damn was some of the worst I've ever seen, so me and my party of four left, with barely an apology from Thomas Keller's staff. ONe of the worst and most rude non-dinning experiences in my life, not even a free drink offered after an hour and half wait?
Thomas Keller needs to survey that joint anonymously, as the customer service is a complete joke.
But since people will go there and wait an hour and a half, even when they have a reservation, obviously they don't have reason to change their service.
4Mel- I didn't wait there and went to another restaurant. I have never eaten at Bouchon, due to the wait and I've let every site I can think of know about it.
He is only worried about serves. No Handicapps need attend. all the bathrooms and the steps to higher level dining do Not meet ADA code by design. only blond hair blue eyes should visit.
He's a genius in the kithcne but he's probably not the one cooking your food, he just created the menu. Go to France or Italy where they're not fixed on being the richest guy in the world.
Our dinner at Bouchon was memorable, all right. Two plates out of four were sent back, the waiter was apathy personified and the noise level was just below the runway at LAX, but at least the din made it easier for Mr. Apathy to ignore our complaints. Mr. Keller needs to concentrate less on the TK Restaurant Group and more on trying to figure out how he got so far from the teachings of Anthony Blake.
We have been to Bouchon a number of times and although the first few times were excellent both in terms of service, and food the most recent last Spring was not. Although we were greeted in a affable fashion the table service was slow and the food was nothing special. We were very disappointed and although I am relatively easy to satisfy foodwise my wife and daughter are excellent in the kitchen and were not impressed. I hope it was an anomoly.
He is a food god. Pure genius!
The French Laundry, New Year's Eve, 2005, I believe, was the trip to dining mountain top. Per Se is wonderful for a NYC lunch. Only a return trip to the Laundry could eclipse that New Year's dinner.

You are an idiot. Can someone on CNN please remove this poster's comment!
You're a jealous angrymaniac with no sense of humor that can barely poop due to the tightness of your own sphincter. Now THAT'S a post worth removing.
Easy, Mr. Angry. Grin or ignore.
I got way more out of his post than yours you crabby old stuck up snob with a corn cob up your butt. (see how I made food references there?)
I'm going to disagree with most of the posters and say that's actually pretty funny. Good job.
ROFL... You're pretty creative, and these titles are hilarious!
While the scatalogical humour is well, what it is, I happen to respect Keller's suggestions and above all else, his work. He has influenced so many up and coming chefs as well as proficient home cooks. He has helped many to reconnect with the real joys and challenges of cooking all the while reminding us that it is often the simplest meal that is not all that simple to make....he told me once, build those flavour layers – I have been doing that ever since.
Road kill does have its place too......and I am sure if Keller was to read your joke he would snicker.
