I'd love to try a meal of her's.

Unfortunately, she has hunkered down in the People's Republic
of Berkeley. I don't drive within 40 miles of that cesspool
on general principals.

If you want world-class food, you bypass her and hit
French Laundry a little further north. Three vs Zero
Michelin stars.

I'm actually surprised how much weight she's put
on eating organic. I'd estimate a good 240 lbs
underneath that full-body apron. She even had
trouble breathing moving around in the 60 minutes
interview if you look closely.
