Events Super-Chef Thomas Keller To Sign Cookbooks at the Mall

You'd better go ahead and get in line now.
Beth over at "Eat. Drink. Smile." offers the heads up that the man himself, Thomas Keller, is coming to town on Thursday, March 25, to sign copies of his new family-style cookbook Ad Hoc at Home.
And conveniently enough, afterward he can just zip over to the Cheesecake Factory for lunch without having to go outside. (So far Keller hasn't opened a Nashville mall spinoff of either The French Laundry or Per Se. Doesn't he know we're about to get a Nordstrom?)

LOL...well written Chris, My sis just went to Per Se this past saturday...'So good, I puked!' when in Rome Anna...when in Rome!
The book is around 30 bucks on Amazon (with free shipping) and 50 at WS. Might be worth it though; I saw someone trying to sell an autographed copy of Ad Hoc on eBay for $200...
My cookbook is purchased and I've taken the entire day off work! Who else will be in line with me?
i would love to go but cant get out of a meeting at work. what kind of people can go stand in line at the mall on a thursday afternoon? oh, never mind, i guess i already know the answer to that...
Does anyone remember when Chef Keller was Exec. Chef at Nashville's Wild Boar for 6 months in 1994, before moving to California to open with his investors the French Laundry? Former Tourism Commissioner Tom Jackson lured him to Nashville's Z-1 outpost after leaving NY. Chef/Owner Brian Uhl of Cabana was his Chef de Cuisine during his stay at the Wild Boar ( I always thought it was spelled wrong), as he was with Jean Louis Palladin, Christian Plummell and Boris Kellar, all of whom were previously Guide Michelin starred chefs, prior to arriving in Nashville.
Hoyt Hill was there as was Brett Allen.
