Schultz talks about wanting to travel Europe and revisit Le Bernardin, drawing a parallel between elite chefs and elite comics curating an experience, name-checking Patrice O'Neal.
- Tim wants to travel Europe and do comedy everywhere once quarantine ends, realizing he missed his chance during the shutdown.
- European comedy tours are worth it now that he's gained notoriety; tickets will sell where they wouldn't have before.
- La Bernardin is one of the best seafood restaurants in the world, a glittering palace that rivals Paris's greatest restaurants.
- Tim went to La Bernardin as a teenager on a date and it fundamentally changed how he evaluates everything else.
- Experiencing greatness like Patrice O'Neal's special or La Bernardin provides a calibration point that organizes everything else in your head.
- Those unrepeatable configurations—the location, the era, the people involved—are what make certain restaurants and comics irreplaceable.
