I'm really focused.
But London's not giving me anything exciting.
Everybody in London is feeding off each other.
They're all going to each other's places.
They're all repeating and copying what everyone else does.
So I looked out at what was around and heard of this place called Danielle in New York.
which was top five in the world.
Danielle Balloud was creating a sensation with his style of cooking and wrote a letter to him.
In fact, I did the draft letter and Jeremy King offered to help.
And he looked at the letter I wrote and said, it's not really punchy enough, Stuart.
You know, this is a guy in America.
You've got to really, you've got to regale him with, you know, you've got to pamper his ego a lot more.
So Jeremy helped me write the letter.
Which was stunning.
It was like nothing I could have written.
And clearly it had an impact because it went over there and I heard nothing and then decided I was going to go there instead and meet him and confront him nicely, politely, turn up.
Have lunch.
Oh, I actually wrote to you.
So we did that.
Me and another three of the sous chefs who worked at Le Caprice, we all went over, planned this trip, went to Union Square Cafe, which was legendary back then.
