“One thing kids like is to be tricked. For instance, I was going to take my little nephew to Disneyland, but instead I drove him to an old burned-out warehouse. 'Oh, no!', I said, 'Disneyland burned down.' He cried and cried, but I think that deep down he thought it was a pretty good joke. I started to drive over to the real Disneyland, but it was getting pretty late.”

“When’s the last time I sat on a beach and read The Brothers Karamazov?” Trotter said. “It’s time.”
When's the last time anyone did that?
Say what you will about the ten commandments, you must always come back to the pleasant fact that there are only ten of them.

it's no secret that he's kind of a weird guy.“When’s the last time I sat on a beach and read The Brothers Karamazov?” Trotter said. “It’s time.”

oh, to live in a country where the law determines what's a correct dice and the proper way to serve a table

I ate there only once about three years ago. My meal bordered on atrocious. The restaurant was running on fumes. Trotter was in Mexico trying to open a hotel-restaurant, which apparently never came to fruition, just as the one he planned in New York. A young apprentice-type in the kitchen, which was where we ate, proudly proclaimed that everything was cooked sous-vide, That says it all. It sounds like time passed it by quite a while ago; probably soon afte Grant Achatz hit town.
