Chef Richard is one of those colorful and lively personalities oft referred to as “a character.” He is also one of those creative and talented artistes de cuisine oft referred to as “a genius.”Jovial, cheeky, charming, obnoxious, hilarious and naughty are all words that come to mind when I think of Michel Richard. He is a true gourmand, passionately obsessed with his restaurant and one of the least politically correct people I know in DC. (The latter of which is, of course, half the reason I’m fond of him!)
