I've worked for him once for a big event. And all everyone can say is that he's a very nice person. He talks to all the chefs and the junior kitchen staff with respect and professionalism. I screwed up an expensive plate of food once and instead of scolding, he guided me and taught me how to improve. He led the team by working hands-on, which i respect a lot because you'll expect a chef of his current status to mostly work by just supervising. During 1 of the lunch break, our lunch got messed up and all the staff has no food. Chef JG then told us to just grab whatever we are plating for the guests and take those as lunch. Respect +100.

When I was 19, I worked as a hostess at The Mark by Jean Georges one summer. I ended up training in the kitchen for a few days (which the manager + team were very supportive of for a young kid wanting to get into the craft) and it was exactly as featured here. Pristine cleanliness and attention to detail. The absolute best of the best on the staff. I was fortunate to spend a little time in each station and even though I'm not in the biz now, I still remember that experience fondly and how a truly GREAT restaurant operates 10 years later. Also, I remember Jean Georges coming into the restaurant as well - and he was super nice to everyone!

It's refreshing to see a legend as Jean-Georges to mingle with his employees, not as a boss, but as a PEER. Not only does he gets his hands dirty and works as a thought partner, he laughs and smiles at what has been accomplished. This is not something you see everyday in any industry. One day, I'll eat here... one day.
