Of a Million Thanks

Hello Everyone from France,

So the wave of support that has come from around the food world, nay, world in general, is absolutely breathtaking. A week and a half ago, we were just a bunch of kids living in an attic, getting up at nine every-day, learning how to make big things small, small things big, and fundamentals for being decent cooks/thinkers/people.

We'll, we are still those kids, and all of those things, but now we are forced to try to find a new place to call home, and as many of you have heard, re-gear ourselves with the few things we as cooks and professionals hold sacred, our knives.

I am keeping this post (uncharacteristically) short so I can rest up and get ready for this transatlantic sojourn, but I wanted to alert the readers here (thats right both of you, mom and dad), that some truly great people in the food world have set up a fund to try to raise money for us to replace our knives (www.firstgiving.com/mugaritzknives). Theres a whole world of people to thank, and its my first task for when I land stateside, other than probably getting roped into cooking for the folks ;-).

With that in mind, I am going back to walking the streets of Paris, filling up the memory card on my camera, and trying to dodge the raindrops.

I will see you all ASAP, if not sooner,

Warmest,
Greg
