Damien Pignolet

We're two big kids, and I love that we've found this, this, um, point in of our lives where we can really honor that.

Then I would s- I would say that was the moment where I sort of crossed the line to see if I could get away with saying JBF to Damien Pignolet, who was everyone was scared shitless of, because Damien would come into the rest- Me ...

Yes, you.

Lovely me.

And at the time there was a number of young chefs.

I just happened to be 23 when I was head chef at Bistro Moncur running a two-hat restaurant under the very close eye of Damien Pignolet who was my mentor

and has been.

forever.
