  8. Charlie Trotter's pressure cooker

    Everyone knows Charlie Trotter as the chef of Charlie Trotter's. It's his name, his restaurant, and he's the boss. But that title &ldquo;chef&rdquo; has many meanings, and Trotter has embodied just about all of them during his 25 years at Charlie Trotter's.

  9. '03 lawsuit challenged work conditions

    <em>There are so many opportunities here of rare, rich experiences which I need to thank Chef Trotter for. From the housewives, doctors, and others who come to work as guest chefs to famous chefs like Tetsuya, Toque and Alain Ducasse. I've always learned and appreciated from these people who have a great passion for food. Cooking for inner-city students, talking to them &hellip; it's been a fulfilling experience to share and hopefully inspire. The recent trip to the Fancy Food Show in New York showed me how to reach excellence at every level &mdash; I think meeting The Red Hot Chili Peppers at Mercer's Lounge was the highlight of that trip!</em>

    As I exited Balena a week or so ago, a passing stranger stopped me. "Good restaurant?" he asked, jerking his head toward the door. I nodded enthusiastically. "Great pizzas," I said. And in that split-second, I fear I gave Balena, which opened two...
