Three days after I started cooking with Bernard at The Marine Room, I joined him at a cooking event. It was an art auction at a private residence in the upscale Rancho Santa Fe section of San Diego. This was my first experience witnessing Bernard in action. This crazy Frenchman was kissing all the women twice on each cheek “as is done in Brittany so that one cheek won’t get jealous.” What did I get myself into? I wondered. But his passion for the public eye spills over in a serious way into his cooking. This is the exact recipe Bernard showcased that day. It was an autumn theme and when I saw him basting a turkey with blood orange juice I knew we were gastronomically compatible. — Chef Ron Oliver
