...with praise, and appear in many ways to be typical of large, conservative, close-knit, multigenerational families. They eat dinner and watch TV together. The men are breadwinners (Kazuhito and his father Takeo manage a rice mill); the able women (Noriko and Kazuhito's mother and sister and grandmother) cook and clean while babysitting Kazuhito's mentally handicapped younger brother and nursing both his bed-bound grandfather and his great-grandmother Ei, the clan's 97-year-old matriarch. "Beyond age and gender," reflects Noriko, "here was the model of a true family, a genuine family...

A year before Boulud's burger, executive chef Sang Yoon, then 29, ditched his job at Michael's in Santa Monica, Calif., to take over a nearby tiny dive bar called Father's Office and cook burgers. "Fine dining is not how people wanted to engage chefs anymore," Yoon says. "It's not the most fun night to hang out."
