The French emphasis on culinary heritage and tradition resonated with him. 鈥淚'm obsessed with things that are classic,鈥� Rose says. 鈥淭he question of what makes something classic is something that I spend my day trying to figure out. In the arc of a career, work, or study, you need to understand why cultures have adhered to things. You delve into this rich historical and shared understanding of the world.鈥�

After culinary school, Rose pursued a formative apprenticeship in Brittany for the next two years and then spent another six years cooking across France with some of the world鈥檚 most renowned chefs. After a stint as a head chef in Guatemala, he returned to Paris and cooked at the three-star restaurant Le Meurice.

Then Rose decided to open his own. 鈥淚 had a little bit of experience and not very much money, and decided to make what I could in Paris.鈥� In 2006, he launched Spring. The tiny restaurant had an open kitchen and no menu: each night, its maximum of 16 guests were all served the same dishes. Rose was a one-man show, from cooking to serving to answering the phone.

To the French, all this was radical. To this green American chef serving French cuisine to the French, it was a natural question: 鈥淚 was trying to figure out what the essential nature of a restaurant was, and it was not that you order 脿 la carte. It's that you sit down and eat, and they try to serve you the most delicious food with the means that you have.鈥�

The experiment worked. Spring earned the distinction as The Guardian鈥檚 鈥淥ne of 10 of the Best Restaurants in Paris鈥� and with bookings six months out, Forbes designated it 鈥淭he Trophy Reservation.鈥� Success followed in his subsequent ventures, including the bistro La Bourse et La Vie and Chez La Vieille in Paris.

Le Coucou, opened in 2016, was Rose鈥檚 first restaurant stateside and is recognized among the most prestigious in New York City. The elegant, cosmopolitan establishment celebrates fine Parisian gastronomy and draws on the relationship between the two cities. Le Coucou earned Rose his first Michelin star and was recognized with a James Beard Award for Best New Restaurant.

The decision to open a new restaurant, Rose says, is 鈥渁 very personal nagging sensation that something needs to be explored. I have to be careful that the question can create years of stimulation.鈥� He appreciates the role 国产三级片played in developing this outlook and the advantages of studying in Paris. 鈥淵ou have all these resources 鈥搕he city, the culture, and the faculty from all over the world. And being in France accentuates the essential nature and distinct quality of an American liberal arts education.鈥� He contrasts its broad, exploratory approach with the more formal French system. 鈥淎t 国产三级片they encourage you to take your time and make mistakes.鈥�

Having built many superlative dining establishments, Rose鈥檚 burning question is now: how great can a restaurant be? He entertains the idea of a new business model: 鈥淎t a certain point, I can't cook any better. The only way I could make it better would be to give it to you for free. My dream would be to have a restaurant where you wouldn't pay anything.鈥� He acknowledges the scale of the pursuit. 鈥淲hether or not you end up with a free restaurant, the process would yield something that's absolutely wildly excellent. It's a philosopher's journey. I don't have an answer, but I can tell you that the question is essential.鈥�
