"I was making dinner for 150 people in Napa in a kitchen that was set up like a theater. An assistant started the plating for the first course by inserting a glass pitcher into hot soup. The pitcher cracked and, of course, we couldn’t use any soup from that pot. Luckily, I did have a second, smaller pot going, and after an announcement of what was going on and a little “magic,” everyone got an espresso cup full of soup."
