Fleur de Lys | Chef Hubert Keller's San Francisco French restaurant. Strangely, there are some people who like noise with their food. This is probably one of the reasons – another is the herd instinct, which is equally despicable – why diners flock to the ‘restaurant of the moment’ and there scream and shout at each other, while they queue for the privilege of eating with the crowd. But cacophony with the cassoulet is not for me. Nor, I suspect, dear reader, is it for you. You are of the civilized and discerning sort, whose idea of the good life is to do with beauty, proportion and good taste. For you, a meal is an occasion when these qualities should be affirmed and celebrated, not an opportunity for loud voices and damaged hearing.
