In 95, I won my three stars.

That period of my life was highly creative in one sense, but highly destructive in another sense.

Because the amount I had to give...

was unhealthy.

What was interesting, and I don't know if I've ever spoke about this, is when I retired from the stove, I was lost.

My decision was born out of a very simple thought.

I was unhappy being in the kitchen.

It no longer excited me.

It was conveyor belt cuisine.

It was cooking by numbers.

It was all about defending our reputation, defending our position.

Winning one star is very exciting.

Maybe the most exciting.

Winning two stars is exciting.

Winning three stars is exciting.

Defending them is very boring.

But I came from a world where chef's position was behind the stove.

And that's where I was, always behind the stove.

And if I didn't touch it with my fingers, I touched it with my eyes, with my palate.

So I touched every single dish that left that kitchen.
