Eric Ripert spends $40 at Jack's, makes food

[Jenise]

Here's a fun article from today's NYTimes, wherein they challenged one of this country's most praised chefs, Eric Ripert of New York's Le Bernardin, to create new dishes out of food purchased at a Jack in the Box. Have to say, thouugh, Jack in the Box must be a very different restaurant in NY than here (crab cakes? wild salmon?).

Not Jack in the Box. The Jack's in the story is a 99 cent store. A very successful 99 cent store.

I saw that article this morning. All I have to say is that their $0.99 store is WAY more upscale than ours.

Still a very entertaining read, though.

I read every word, I swear! Guess I got it into my head wrong in the first place and nothing I read after that dissuaded me!
