“The restaurant did age really well, like me. [laughs] For a restaurant to be 40 years old, it’s something special. I’ve been a big part of that, so I’m glad and I have no regrets.

That’s a good place to be.” — Departing chef Jean-Pierre Moullé talking about his decision to leave Chez Panisse after 37 years. [Scoop, Earlier]
