“
I don’t believe in specials. I have never taken a special in any restaurant, ever. In a
restaurant we are not there to listen to the waiter talk about the food for 15 minutes.
That person lost my interest in the first heartbeat. Look, we all have different
tastes—we are all different. Just because my waiter likes it, doesn’t mean I will.
Instead I will let my regular customers try something new I’ve made and get their
feedback and talk to my producers about what they have from the harvest and
decide what to add to the menu on any given night”. –Frederik De Pue
