In a recent interview with StarChefs, Avenues chef Curtis Duffy shares the harrowing tale of his worst kitchen experience: “There’s a guy I would never work for again—an incredible, famous chef whose name I won’t mention. It’s like one of those classic fairy tale stories you hear about a French or German chef screaming and yelling, throwing stuff, pushing hitting you—that was this guy’s restaurant and mentality.” Duffy’s careful not to name names, but a glance at his culinary resume makes us wonder if the “incredible, famous chef” in question is the same temper-challenged individual who drove Grant Achatz bonkers, Charlie Trotter. The pieces do seem to line up, but we don’t want to get anyone in trouble. [StarChefs]
