- <p> Is DAVID BOULEY the prototypical chef of the future? He
- thinks so. It's true his eponymous restaurant was just named the
- most popular eatery in New York City by the Zagat Survey, ahead
- of perennial favorites The Four Seasons and Lutece. It's also
- true the 38-year-old wundercook is leading the charge to use
- more organic products in American cuisine. But can a kid from
- Connecticut thrive in the chef-eat-chef world of fancy French
- cooking? It can't hurt that he spends $12,500 a month on
- chocolates and flowers, has almost as many employees (76) as
- seats (80) and uses a computer to track what his customers eat
- and where they sit. "European chefs have thought Americans don't
- know about food, but people are more aware of what they eat
- now," says Bouley. "I represent the new voice of American
- diners."
