By Debora Smail

Restaurant Cuisines: American with Texas and Southwestern influences.

Training: University training in chemistry & biology. Ph.D. in biochemistry .

Years as Chef: 30

Career Highlights: “All the awards aside, the greatest highlight was to be part of the rise of American cooking in the early 1980s and to have the opportunity to meet, work with and become friends with some of the best chefs in America.”

Culinary Philosophy: “There should always be a sense of immediacy. In great dishes, you will find the best products and least amount of technique. For a cook, sometimes that simply means getting out of the way and letting the product speak for itself. Also, if possible, although never easy, seek to find a cultural root for the dish. If a dish has no lasting cultural bond, or no sense of tradition, then maybe it’s only a gimmick or a culinary trick. Therefore, beware.”
