I would like to see AB go to the French Laundry. I bet he would like to go there too.

He's been. It was almost a religious experience for him, if I remember correctly.

Do you know which season and/or which episode that was?

It was part of the Cook's Tour series on Food Network. He went with Michael Ruhlman who co-wrote the book French Laundy, Eric Ripert from Le Bernadin, and Scott Bryan from Veritas. It was probably 3-4 years ago that this was filmed.

He was on a local (San Francisco) radio station for an extended interview sometime in the last month... He was very enthusiastic about the French Laundry, saying it was the place you would want to tell your children you had gone to...

It wasn't the typical phone in interview. He sat in all morning...

He also commented in at least one episode of No Reservations- don't remember which one, but I did see it within the last few days- that he believes French Laundry is the best restaurant in the world.
