Bill Buford is my hero. I loved his book "Heat." And now he has penned an excellent story on the obsessive, expletive spewing, hot head chef Gordon Ramsay in the most recent issue of The New Yorker. It's a must read.
Ramsay browbeats everyone on his staff. I wish he took a page from Jean-Marie LaCroix, who is a gentleman and an excellent and much loved Philly based chef. LaCroix was beat up in French kitchens - literally - but told me he vowed never to resort to plate throwing histronics. He spoke quietly - but with authority. Believe me, his staff paid attention to every word.

Wasn't he the drummer for Yes? Oh sorry, my bad, that was Bill Bruford.
