Here's one. A close family friend was dining there when Perrier came into the dining room to talk to guests. My friend asked him to explain something on the menu. Perrier said something to the effect of, "if you need that explained, then perhaps you are in the wrong place." And he walked away.

 

In other words, the kind of caricature of snooty French chefs that I remember from bad sit coms when I was a kid.

 

This was shortly before the restaurant closed. I don't think Perrier talked to guests like this when he was well. 

LOL.

He is a cranky little fellow. But that's his charm. I kissed his ass and we got along.

LBF was a sad thing towards the end. In its prime it was exciting  and spawned lots of great young cooks including two who won Top Chef
