Could you, would you, on a train? We would eat chef Jean Imbert's cuisine on a train, by the sea, in a city... we would eat Jean Imbert's cuisine anywhere!

Dr. Seuss jokes aside, Jean Imbert is the culinary mastermind behind some of the most iconic restaurants in the world, including those in Paris, Cannes, French Polynesia, St. Barth’s, and even the legendary Orient Express, and he's this episode's guest on Travel That Matters.

Jean talks to Bruce about realizing his dream of running the kitchen at the Plaza Athénée, creating unforgettable dining experiences across the globe, and enjoying the simple pleasures of his garden in Brittany.
