Last word by Thomas Keller "true definition of a trend is something that has an end. So why would you want to be trendy?"
That was chef Keller’s response to a question about trends during a recent interview in Toronto Life by Renee Suen. He added, “Why is arugula in this year and out next year? I mean arugula’s still arugula—it’s great!”

Hi Corey,
Thanks for the mention/linking the piece.
Ironically, it appears that some of your predictions will come to fruition in some shape or form in the near future. Just wait and see. I hope you put some money on it. ;)
