At St. John, the London restaurant he founded, the chef served roasted marrow bones with parsley salad and toast—a dish that became iconic.

During the peak of the pandemic, “it was so tough on everybody, and two of my co-residents quit,” recalled Todd Walker, MD, an orthopedic surgeon in Austin, Texas. Even the one perk for healthcare workers — free coffee from chains like Dunkin’ and Starbucks — ended after a few months.

“Because you know I’m all about that base, ‘bout that base, no acid.”
