He’s the only American chef to run two 3-star Michelin restaurants simultaneously (Per Se and The French Laundry). To top off his already richly blessed career, last month Chef Keller was awarded the fanciest title given to French Chefs, a Chevalier in the French Legion of Honor, presented to him by the gold standard of all French Chefs, Chef Paul Bocuse (of Bocuse D’or fame).
Even with all his accomplishments, years of inspring young chefs, legendary meals, he still keeps it hella real as is evident in the plaque above which is displayed in both Per Se and The French Laundry.
