Thomas Keller Is Getting Married

Mazel tov to Thomas Keller, who is is tying the knot! The Most Important Chef, Like, Ever is finally getting hitched to longtime girlfriend (and former employee) Laura Cunningham.

Three years ago, Cunningham — who had managed hospitality for Keller’s restaurants, and is generally credited with their flawless service — left Thomas Keller Restaurant Group and started her own company. Her first restaurant is currently on schedule to open right across the street from The French Laundry — nothing like a little healthy competition to add that frisson to a marriage.

The couple have not yet set a date, so we presume Grant Achatz is not worrying himself just yet with making travel arrangements. [MP:SanFran]
