...family, things like the house and the car and the pantry. Yet he's still not sure he can let go of all but 100 of his own possessions. Right now he's down to one nice pen, one mechanical pencil and one spork, although he counts that last utensil as part of a camping cooking set that includes two pots. And his current tally of 97 items doesn't include his toy trains, woodworking tools and a few other things he says he still needs to think through.

While at Trotter's, where he was promoted to sous chef, he filed the first of his 38 kitchen-utensil patents. In early 2004, he opened Moto and soon became known for two inventions: herb-stuffed silverware that enhances the olfactory experience of a dish and an insulated polymer box that bakes raw fish in front of the diner's eyes...
