\nWhen my oldest son Mitch traveled to the Isle of Skye off of Northern Scotland just to eat at The Three Chimneys<\/a> is probably when I first realized he was getting fairly serious about eating good food. For his photography services<\/a>, he has been known to accept payment in the form of a meal at a favorite restaurant. That right there is a pretty good illustration of the kind of business sense that runs in my family.<\/p>\n

Mitch visited The French Laundry over the weekend, about an hour north out of San Francisco in Napa Valley, in the town of Yountville. Mediterranean winter wet\/summer dry, zone 9ish, a climate very much to a grape’s liking. I can’t even imagine the pressures involved in running a working kitchen garden that supports a world-class restaurant. You can read more about the process on their Facebook<\/a> page. The French Laundry was inducted into The Culinary Hall of Fame in 2012. Jacket required. <\/p>\n
