passion for asparagus

david lee, I see that you are so passionate about white asparagus that you will allow no one in your kitchen other than yourself or your sous to peel the albino spears. I like that passion a lot. I see also that you find peeling asparagus very therapeutic, "a good way ... to relieve the stresses of the day." you are such a gentle soul, david lee. if I had to pick a chef named lee to hang out with, it would be you, no contest.

wow, thanks for noticing the subtle thomas keller reference there, everyone. thomas is passionate about artichokes, he insisits on peeling them himself. he finds it therapeutic as well.

honestly, why do I even bother?

It's all above me. Now if you were writing about the subtleties of the crock pot "sous vide" I might have seen the connection.
