Here's an excerpt from Paul Liebrandt's upcoming cookbook and memoir, To the Bone. On first seeing Jean-Georges Vongerichten ("dressed from head to toe in black Prada") at Vong, "The first day he showed up, gliding through the kitchen with his beautiful girlfriend on his arm, I was awestruck. He was such a contrast to the beaten-down chefs I'd seen throughout London that I couldn't help but stare at him. 'That's a chef?'" [Grub Street]
