"New York super-chef, Top Chef guest judge and Anthony Bourdin&amp;#8217;s sometimes food adventurer, &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;http://www.eatmedaily.com/2009/09/eric-ripert-hearts-processed-cheese/&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Eric Ripert&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; has a new television series, &amp;#8216;Avec Eric,&amp;#8217; and in a promotional interview he reveals an interesting tid-bit about his famous New York restaurant, Le Bernardin. The sous chefs use processed cheese as a tasting reference point. &amp;quot;We realized a couple of years ago that one guy was saying a sauce was bland, while another guy was saying, &amp;#8216;No, it&amp;#8217;s not bland,&amp;#039;&amp;quot; says Eric Ripert. &amp;quot;So to have the same palate, we buy some cheap, fake Swiss cheese full of artificial flavors. In terms of flavor, that cheese tastes identical all year long... so it give us a reference, and we can judge fairly.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
