May 18, 2009 at 10:16 pmThank you Chef John! For those not in the know, and I hesitate to disclose this, “Operation Mario” is an attempt to capture on film, “just one kiss on the cheek” from Heidi (Savory Tv), to Mario. For further research, please refer to the Chef John’s Eric Ripert “Chef Love” video.

May 22, 2009 at 8:38 pmThanks Gabi! We will be with Plum’s Tv crew so yes we will, and photos as well!
Beth, thank you for visiting new Colorado friend!
Gordon Naccarato
May 23, 2009 at 4:05 pmYou will love Aspen!
When I had my restaurant there–Gordon’s–many years ago, I guest-hosted many of the out-of-town visiting chefs with their demos, arranging to get them needed ingredients, and letting them use my kitchen and borrow my sous-chefs.
There is something amazing about cooking in that rarified air!
I always say that you first go to Aspen to ski–but if you ever experience a summer there–you will move.
Savory Tv
May 24, 2009 at 9:37 pmThank you Gordon, interesting that you lived there! I am currently in the Telluride area and visit Aspen often, eating tours there are a blast, but only doable when the wallet is feeling very fat! My favorite restaurant there is a Sushi place named Nobu Matsuhisa, there is a photo on the “about” page, absolutely the best sushi in Colorado. I wish that your restaurant were still there so that I could visit!

May 31, 2009 at 5:55 pm@savorthethyme yes, I’m so exited, will keep you posted! Here is the big announcement 🙂 http://foodurl.info/wtym
