The Job Jacques Pepin Would Have Done If He Wasn't A Chef - Tasting Table
Briefly

"On one side, my father, a cabinet maker, on the other side, my mother, it was one or the other. I never even thought that I could be a doctor or an architect. That was my life at that point."
"I could have been a cabinet maker. I love to work with my hands, I love to build walls, granite too."
"Maybe I could even be a surgeon. I'm pretty good with a knife - and I think I would've liked that."
"You describe a very tough life for anyone. Long hours, not much pay, the classic brutal hazing. It wasn't easy, but I enjoyed it, too."
