In Intelligent Life's upcoming September/November issue, chef René Redzepi (Noma) pays homage to living legend chef Wylie Dufresne (wd~50). Quote: "Noma and wd~50 opened in the same year [in 2003]. At Noma, we had a seed, a base idea, but we didn't know how to develop it and I felt totally inadequate. Wylie was so clear in his vision, though, he motivated me to study more and work harder, to become more adventurous and open to new ideas. Our food is very different, but we share a determination, hope and aspiration to make people happy, excite them and surprise them." [Intelligent Life][Photo: Alder/Eater NY]
