At 92.  One of the greatest.

 

RIP, Chef.

 “Basically I am a cook,” he told Nation’s Restaurant News in 1987. “We are not stars. It’s nice to be recognized, but let’s draw the line.”

When I was young, I was fortunate enough to have my parents take me to Lutece while Soltner was still there.  My parents loved that place.

I was really fortunate - they took me to all the best places, except Lespinasse!  They never took me there! Damn them!
