- Chef Thomas Keller and Daniel Boulud at the All-Clad booth, rapping.
- A lady may lick but she never tells, what it is she's licking.
- This is the back of Jerome Bocuse's head, FYI.
- Michael Ruhlman, so handsome, so serious.
- There were refreshments served. Everything fogged. It was like Swan Lake, but with food.
- Who cut the cheese? It was Daniel!
- The Oyster Leaf tasted like Oyster!!!
- Accountant in Chief of Bocuse D'Or USA, Joel Buchman, wore a Paul Bocuse pin. Hard to come by.
- At the Coupe du Monde de la Patisserie, we eagerly awaited the winner. [Spain won.]
- A hint of what the Bocuse will be: Belgians going crazy for their third-place team.
- Scott Boswell, he of Stella and Stanley in New Orleans, was there with a badge to support the Bocuse D'Or.
- This is what a booth — called here a "box" — looks like from the back.
- This is the glassy tree sculpture outside Paul Bocuse's Le Sud Brasserie. It's real pretty right? I imagine this is what love looks like when made in glass in France.
- While Team USA prepared, a documentary crew filmed them and, strangely, me filming them and, in this case, me photographing them filming them.
- James Kent and a big B. THE big B.
- Tom Allan preps food behind a statue of a lady.
- Just in case you never make it to L'abbaye de Collanges, there's a huge organ thing in the back (that's what SHE said!?!?!) with over which a statue of Paul Bocuse presides.
- To every All-Clad an ingredient and for every ingredient an All-Clad.
- A package from home arrived just in time, greens from The Chef's Garden.
- USA! USA! USA! FUCK YES!
- The sign on the kitchen in the Restaurant Paul Bocuse reads: Silence We Cook.
- The chef, Christian Bouvard, JDS and sous chef Olivier Cousin in the kitchen of Restaurant Paul Bocuse.
- There's only two more spaces in the Bocuse d'Or marble.
- That would Mr. Beard and Ms. Child on the wall of Mr. Bocuse's restaurant
