A MOLECULAR FEAST
We may utilize science in the kitchen, but it doesn’t appear in front of our guests. I consider what we do an art form, and art is in many ways the opposite of science.

Dehydrated bacon wrapped in apple leather.

Gelled sweet potato, brown sugar, and bourbon, tempura-fried on a torched cinnamon stick.

Achatz serves Licorice suspended at mouth level—guests are asked to eat the dish using no hands.

QUOTE
I grew up looking at my mother’s magazines with all these blonde blue-eyed beauties. I used to cut my mother’s photos and glue them on the models faces, because I thought she was stunning and dazzling enough to be in those magazines. (So) I said that when I grow up, I’ll have a magazine with a lot of women of colour, that’s it. [DreDeCarlo.Wordpress.com]_____________________________________________

Rhys Meyers Shares His Personal Paris
"Listen, Parisians have that arrogance about them. But that's their character. So what you do to cope is raise your own arrogance level so that you can fit right in. Now I have no problem with that at all. But Americans don't think that way. … Americans abroad can be so easily offended, when you don't mean to offend them. The trick is to be just as arrogant as the French are!"

Jonathan Rhys Meyers Takes a Big Step Up With His New Thriller
"I don't hang out with actors," he smiles. "They're all bitter, twisted creatures, including me.
