I just saw Batali, Grant Achatz, Daniel Boulud, and Rick Bayless within 35 seconds of each other. Brain overload in the press room.

Timothy of French Laundry won the Rising Star award! He seems very kind and humble. Spike also worked for Thomas Keller...now I'm thinking there's something in that Napa water. Real gentlemen!!

Star Wars theme, and some galactic backgrounds in the program, I think this year's space aesthetic is 100 percent awesome. Sadly, no Tang or freeze-dried ice cream in sight.
