He relocated to France in 1983, where he worked in several Michelin-starred houses including Guy Savoy and Taillevent. He opened his first restaurant, Rakel, in New York City in 1986, then moved westward to California to work as the Executive Chef at the Checkers Hotel in Los Angeles.
In 1994, Keller took ownership of The French Laundry in Yountville, quickly garnering nationwide acclaim. The restaurant recently celebrated its 22nd anniversary in July 2016.

In chapters 11 and 12, Every Good Endeavor closes out by emphasizing while work can be good, it all depends on the worker behind it. In chapter 11, Keller focuses on ethics and how it is more than just right and wrong, but it also a trust issue between us and God. Committing an act that is unethical in the work place is essentially saying to God "I don't trust all that you have done and have planned for my life, so I feel the need to take things into my own hands and cut corners to reach my purpose.” Committing an unethical act in the workplace can seem like it has such microscopic consequences, but when we zoom out and look at the long term affects, we see that it can cause a terrifying amount of damage.

Once a man has the reason, the method, and the courage to act against the injustices, the reform will happen spontaneously. This reform happens spontaneously at an appropriate time, and it cannot be forced or suppressed. Both the reformers and authorities have to realize that the reform begins with individuals and cannot be controlled by the general. The individual should not blindly follow others but reform on his own behalf. Thoreau explicitly mentioned this idea in his essay, claiming that the individual is powerless while compromising the majority. He wrote: “A minority is powerless while it conforms to the majority; it is not even a minority then; but it is irresistible when it clogs by its whole weight.” (Thoreau 845). The first two phrases state that the individual should not conform. If the minority compromises, follows the majority’s command, and accepts the majority’s value, that minority is cultivated by the majority and becomes a part of the majority. That is why Thoreau called compromised minority is not even a “minority”. The first two phrases are for the reformers, telling the reformers not to give up to the majority; the last phrase is for the authorities, warning them of the irresistible nature of the reform. The last phrase describes what is going to happen once the individual starts to reform. Despite the fact that the majority can cultivate the minority, the minority can also resist the majority once it put in all the effort. Similarly, Dr. King sent his letter to tell the moderates that the reform will eventually take place. Dr. King wrote this in his letter:

It is free will which keeps men away from being enslaved, physically and spiritually. Once a man has free will, he can make decisions on himself, thus he is not belonged to anybody else but himself. This free will is valued by Transcendentalists; it makes a man free of outsider’s control, and the man can create instead of imitating. Transcendentalists also expected the people make their own decisions based on conscience instead of what the authority is saying. In order to achieve that, one needs free will. A great transcendentalist, Emerson, expressed this idea in his essay Self-Reliance. In his essay, Emerson asked people to seek the truth from themselves instead of somebody else. Emerson supported that idea with the examples of great masters such as Newton, Washington, and Bacon. These great masters did not find truth from somebody else but themselves. Nobody taught them, therefore they taught themselves. By creating instead of imitating, those great masters left great legacy for the society. Transcendentalists also believe in action. According to Transcendentalism, everything in this universe is connected to each other. One’s action is going to affect others, and the effects of that action are eventually coming back to him. If an injustice is going on, one cannot excuse himself from not acting to justify the injustice. Not acting to correct injustice is an act to participate injustice; the injustice is eventually going to happen to whoever is indifferent to that injustice at the first time. Another great transcendentalist, Thoreau, used himself as an example of this idea. Thoreau was opposed to the Mexican war and slavery, because he thought those are injustices done by the government. While he strived to correct those injustic...

Alice with her self sustaining restaurant, friends and family based meals. Taking what the community has to offer and giving right back tenfold! thats what being a chef is. Being a chef really has nothing to do with how efficiently you can butcher half a cow, how perfect your battonet slice is, or how aromatic and golden your basic stock is. Being a chef is being a community leader/activist.
