This is Philippe Gardelle, chef/proprietor of Chapeau! restaurant, where we dined for our sixth wedding anniversary last night. Philippe rocks.
If you’re in San Francisco, you should make a point to dine at his place. The food is outstanding, the service is bar-none the best of any restaurant in the city, the wine list is terrific, and it’s extra fun to be greeted like a regular by the owner when you walk in the door and when you leave (even if you only eat there once every six months).
One time when we ate there we didn’t quite know the drill and we slipped out without shaking hands and chatting with Philippe — he literally chased us halfway down the street just so he could shake our hands and ask us how everything was. (Naturally my first thought was that I’d forgotten to pay or leave a tip, or I’d forgotten my coat or something.)
