The Best Chef in the World
As soon as you have 20 minutes to spare, I encourage you to go watch this short film about Sally Schmidt, produced by Oscar® award winning documentary filmmaker Ben Proudfoot, for the New York Times1.
Speaking of restaurants, Sally started a little establishment you might have heard of called The French Laundry.2
I particularly like this comment in the accompanying article:
Talking to Ms. Schmitt that morning, I learned she held a different kind of wisdom: that success may have other definitions.
Life-work balance for the win!
