People will come together around food on their own or not. The chef's role is to make good food, not to "allow" people to come together. What an ego!

I don't think that's what he meant.

This article was very interesting for me to see how writer and chef share their opinions about food and enterprise of restaurant. And also interesting to see how one chef's attitude can be superficially different one way another. It was little uncomfortable to see the young chef's double side' character. 'Honest and polite..is this about Nathan Isberg, really?' Rather than polite and honest, he is sly and deceptive. 'Superficial' is another word for his tongue. He built up his career too soon to be honest, polite and truthful. Using people in the kitchen by paying mothing and showing off his erudite manner to the others...

Fournives,
It reads like you, or someone you know, has a personal grievance with the chef. I empathize and feel a sadness for the chef if what you say is true. However, I encourage you to talk to the man directly. I doubt posting on a public forum will truly help in getting your hurt feelings appropriately addressed. As well, I can´t imagine that Isberg can absorb anything helpful from reading this kind of criticism on line. Good luck to you both!

Mr. Chatto, are you not leading this forum?

Sami,

Who cares? Read this http://www.thestar.com/printArticle/2051...

Will see how tired of dealing with the chef people are.

fournives September 6, 20076

This one is even better.

Indeed, I am sure many people do care. All my posting suggested was that this forum may not serve your purpose best (which, to be truthful, I don't know what that is) or be productive (useful, helpful for growth, development) for the chef.

I don't agree with the attitude of fournives, either.
But the fact is Nathan made too many enemies around him.
Sami, you made a good point. 'many ppl do care' but sadly, he is the one who doesn't care. if he cares, things must be far better than the article, which is pointed out by fournives.
Then, you both are right.
