When I saw him at the Final Table and just listened to his thoughts, the way he thinks is just captivating. I will always admire him. He has such a strong character. I'm glad that he is overcoming this obstacle and showing people what a chef really is.
@@Imadeavideos I am a lifelong musician. My greatest music heroes can‘t speak about music in a way that captivates me like this does. Different arts are different, it‘s definitely not all the same.
My first thought also. Beethoven was also able to make beautiful music still without being able to hear it. Its knowing before you loose one of your senses what food tasted like or what certain Notes sounded like--to still get an idea of how to mix those things to create art. That passion can still make you a great Artist.
I had the same cancer and know how difficult taste is after treatment. The fact that he overcame this enormous obstacle is truly inspiring, and watching his episode of Chef's Table gave me hope and a bit more ease going into my treatment. I've been 2 years cancer free at this point, and am hoping to go to Alinea to celebrate the three year anniversary in December.
@@bludika thankfully my taste never fully went away, but certain foods still taste extremely different. I used to love peanut butter or chocolate and now they taste weird and bland. A lot of fruits taste very salty to me. Lemons tasted like pickles for a while, but thankfully that's more normal now. My throat is still super sensitive to acidic and spicy foods so I can't eat citrus or drink orange juice or I risk being unable to eat for a few days. Found that out the hard way on a cruise! Missed a whole day and a half of eating!
@@mookiestewart3776 I definitely will. The 3 year mark didn't work out for going, but 5 years is the real big milestone, so next December is the plan to go at this point!
he must have been exposed to harmful ingredient thru his quest to mastering perfection in every dish he create its very unfortunate but gladly he is better and still a chef up to date

I agree! I posted this in memory of how amazing he is.
Why is it always so inspiring when master chefs talk about their life.
It’s not necessarily the fact that they’re chefs, I think, but the fact that they’re masters of their craft

The Beethoven of Cooking. Even if his taste ended up coming back, that mindset is what makes a legend.

Yes agreed. He's my favorite chef of all time

Man if you wrote him and told him your story I’m sure he would have you at the restaurant just for the principle of it all …. You should write him
