Gerard Craft has earned my highest level of respect in the category of doing what you say you're going to do.
Craft, the executive chef and owner of Niche on Sidney Street, is already one of the most "in demand" people in town. Food and Wine magazine named him one of the nation's ten best new chefs!
Anyway we had been playing phone tag for some time, and yesterday was finally to be the day that Chef Craft and ToastedRav.com would hook up to shoot a Raiding the Kitchen video. (Look for it next week!)
We arrived, and he seemed a little distracted. Why? It was the due date for his wife to have their second daughter!
"We had a little false alarm around 4am, so I'm kinda tired," he told me.
As a father, I'm standing there in near shock that this guy kept our appointment. I certainly wouldn't have minded a postponement considering the circumstances.
Instead, we had a fantastic time, as he prepared a pork cheek that's going to knock your socks off! (stay tuned!)
No word yet on whether the new little person has arrived, but a definite "thanks" goes out to Gerard Craft for taking the time with us. (I don't know about you, but in a similar circumstance my spouse might have killed me....and I'd understand!)
