Eric Klein, Executive chef, Spago (Forum Shops at Caesars Palace)

“I need to have a spoon on me all the time. I can’t be without it. It’s like, you put on the apron and the jacket, then you have to have a spoon. I used to be a little obsessed with having spoons from different restaurants. If I saw a really cool one, I’d have to take it. I still have one from Chinois, where I started here in 1996. Okay, maybe I still am a little obsessed. It’s just something I have to have—always.”
