Keller, Achatz, Benno, And The French Laundry Team Stage Surprise Play At CIA
Thanks to a low-key advertising campaign consisting of a few flyers and an incredible feat of secrecy on the administration’s part, the students and faculty at the Culinary Institute of America (CIA) thought they were walking into a “cooking demonstration” where some of America’s most celebrated chefs would, well, cook.
