That's the real video I want to see: Jeffrey in search of his new assistant! Imagine the fireworks in that process. In upcoming episodes of 'Jeffrey's World' could we hear stories from some of the other former Steingarten assistants? How often are you going to post 'Jeffrey's World?' I love being a fly on the wall in the life of this eccentric.
Does anyone else find Jeffrey arrogant? He gets a $5000 personal chef paid for by Vogue, then stands in his shadow questioning his process. He should be honored to have such a celebrated chef working in his rodent-festered, broken-down kitchen. No matter what, Jeffrey is an entertaining character. Looking forward to the remainder of the series.
I like that you all post videos on your site. It makes the experience much more colorful and entertaining. Also you don't find much video content on other food blogs. Keep 'em coming
Those video are wonderful!!! I just love them!!!!
Morgan: We'd like to run Jeffrey's World once a month, if possible. It all depends on how busy Mr. Steingarten is and whether he minds us buzzing around as flies on his wall.
We also have a small outtake from a very early series we were going to do about the search for JS's new assistant. He has since found an assistant, but we have a short video from the initial search.

Deirdre: I just added Kathryn's take on working with JS to the player above. Hope it's the type of insight you were looking for.
Deirdre, I'm watching too! I'm a big Iron Chef fan (but not necessarily a Steingarten fan). Regardless of how much then man knows and has eaten, I often find his comments on Iron Chef arrogant and condescending. I think he sometimes fails to filter his own personal taste from what should be a balanced commentary of the unique flavor and creativity to a dish (or lack thereof). So I was curious to see how he would react to a chef in his own home and couldn't believe the clip where he hovered over Paul! I will check out the Vogue article to see how JS sums up the experience, but I'd love to hear the "truthful" side of Paul's experience as well (maybe he can post it here?)
Thanks Adam. I'd love to see more of these Jeffrey videos. You really don't see him on-air anywhere, except occasionally on 'Iron Chef.' And he's a great character for television. Am I the only one watching these videos?
I enjoy watching your video segments! Excellent website.
Deirdre: Serious Eats's mastermind, Ed, just let gave me a clip of a video he has from an earlier Jeffrey series he was going to develop -- about the search for JS a new assistant. I think it might be up your alley. There's a bit at the end in which Kathryn talks about her days assisting Mr. Steingarten. I'm coding it up and getting it ready to publish here.
