The Best Chef in the World

Ben Proudfoot

Filmmaker Ben Proudfoot; AFS Envoy: Brandon Somerhalder (Cinematographer)

The French Laundry, run by legendary chef Thomas Keller, has often been recognized as the best restaurant in the world, but few know the story of its original founder, Sally Schmitt. In an emotional final interview before her passing in March 2022, Sally tells her own story as a pioneering chef of California cuisine and sets the table for another way to look at life: where balance, rather than recognition, is the ultimate prize.
