Let's say you did decide to do one. Who would you want to go up against?
I don't know. I would love to do Mario (Battali) because Italian and French still have a rivalry there. Like Thai and Vietnamese! (Laughs)
Chef Daniel Boulud on After Hours
After Hours is a very popular show on AFC. How difficult is it to get all those people together?
Well, we do have someone who scouts out the place. But when I do go to another chef's restaurant, I give them the priority to choose who to invite, whether fellow chefs in their own hometown, or perhaps a popular customer, like a musician, artist, or actor or athlete and which food critic. After he makes his choices, we discuss and come to an agreement. I let the chef choose the critic so that I don't make the mistake of inviting a critic who was not good to the chef!
Daniel Boulud: One Night in Singapore will air on Tuesday, October 6 at 9 p.m. on the Asian Food Channel (Sky Cable Channel 58).
