00:00When there's something wonderful to be done,

00:03if you're not right there with me,

00:05then get out of the way.

00:09Most people would not know who Jeremiah Tower is.

00:12He was on the front of magazines.

00:13He was not all over Europe.

00:14We hadn't seen his kind before.

00:16He was a natural.

00:17A superstar.

00:18And this was a chef.

00:20He certainly is considered a father of the American cuisine.

00:25We should know who changed the world.

00:27We should know their names.

00:301972, Jeremiah Tower walks into Chez Panisse.

00:35It was Alice Waters' little dream restaurant.

00:39The first thing they did is celebrate local ingredients.

00:41I wrote the menu of the California regional dinner.

00:44It exploded.

00:46Complete re-evaluation of not just American food and ingredients,

00:51but food.

00:52Then all hell broke loose.

00:54Alice showed me the first book, the Chez Panisse cookbook,

00:56and she had taken all the dinners I had dreamed up,

00:59written the menus for, and cooked, and said that she did it.

01:02I'm not coming back.

01:03He became something bigger.

01:05Jeremiah at Starz defined what a modern American restaurant could be.

01:11It was, at one point, arguably the best in the world.

01:14Arguably the best in the world.

01:16It was just odd that he burned so bright and then just disappeared.

01:21He never made contact again.

01:27I don't even think any of us knew for sure what had happened.

01:33All of a sudden, there was a tweet from the New York Times saying,

01:37Jeremiah Tower announced his new chef at Tavern on the Green.

01:41My first reaction was holy.

01:43Here's a guy who's been out of the profession for 15 years.

01:47Just seemed like something you'd see in a movie.

01:50He's got ranks of critics waiting to ambush him.

01:53Look at that.

01:54It's inexcusable.

01:57He has no clue what he's doing.

01:59These look tired.

02:00They're horrible.

02:01There's clearly unfinished business.

02:05Do I think there's going to be a home run?

02:08This will never work.

02:09If anything is worth doing, it's worth doing in style and on your own terms,

02:15and nobody else's.
