Owner and head chef of his well-regarded eponymous restaurant in Chicago, 
Charlie died yesterday at the age of 54. The cause is as yet unknown, but this is just another reminder that we are never guaranteed a tomorrow.
I never got to eat at Charlie Trotter’s before it closed—couldn’t afford it. Besides, I always thought he was a bit of a snob which is completely unfair of me. I regret that now.
Charlie was great at what he did, and more than that, he helped others to achieve success as well.
Bon voyage!
