New site for French Laundry

The French Laundry finally has a website at www.frenchlaundry.com and it's got information not only about the namesake but also Buchon (also in Yountville) and the upcoming new restaurant in New York. I'm a little worried about the New York venture, does this mean Keller is moving? Or is he going to just be the executive chef, "overseeing" the whole thing from CA, and transform into a Wolfgang Puck or Todd English with outposts everywhere? Gosh I hope there's never a French Laundry Las Vegas! Of course, if Keller actually heads up the NY kitchen, you know I'll start saving again. How could I possibly resist?

Comparing Frozen Fish to Fresh

My mother swears by frozen fish. I was unconvinced, and decided to put her statements to the test: could flash-frozen fish taste as good as fresh local fish from the Greenmarket or even fresh fish from a local supermarket?
