When the Culinary Institute of America dedicated the Bocuse Restaurant last month, they took advantage of the big name chefs coming to campus by hosting a panel dedicated to legendary chef Paul Bocuse. In the star-studded discussion below, Daniel Boulud tells a story about first meeting Paul Bocuse, who promptly made him get rid of his sunglasses and go get a haircut. Thomas Keller does a fake French accent (yes really, but not for very long) and tells the story of the time he met Paul Bocuse on an airplane. Jean-Georges Vongerichten, Jerome Bocuse, and more are also on hand to discuss Bocuse's influence on their lives and on the culinary field as a whole. Here are the videos:
