This year's theme was creativity, Art vs. Craft. The discussion on the mainstage re this topic was between a stellar group of Chefs. Maybe you've heard of them...
from right, Dan Barber, Thomas Keller, David Kinch, and moderating was Michael Ruhlman.
They each spoke on the topic, with the consensus being that Chefs don't go into the kitchen to create art, but instead to practice their craft. If they do this extraordinarily well, it may be elevated to an art. My opinion is that artists are born, not made. Some can create art on a plate, but some, no matter how many years they spend in the kitchen, never achieve that plateau.
What do you think?
