I was saddened to learn that Charlie Trotter passed away today.
I always wished I had taken the time to eat at his restaurant in Chicago and was saddened when it closed last year. It doesn't compare to the sadness I feel right now.
Besides being a great chef, he was supposed to be a great man. He trained at risk kids to have a successful career in the restaurant field. He was a giving man and a very tough taskmaster. He expected perfection from his employees...which is probably why his restaurant was considered the best in the country by many.
RIP Charlie Trotter.
