Twitpics from Garrett at Maison de Troisgros in Roanne, France

Posted by Garrett      
 

Garrett reports that his back is killing him after hours and hours in the kitchen–the counters are too low and swimmers aren’t used to standing for 10 or 12 hours. The work, however, is delighful. He’s learning incredible things about food preparation. Here are a few twitpics from his first couple days:
