how often does the letter a occur in:
andre rochat came to america with little more than $5, a bag of knives and a dream to become a chef in 1965, landing in boston. his journey took him up and down the east coast to bostons charter house, washingtons mayflower and later as in-flight chef for united airlines. then rochat headed to vegas, and in 1973, noticed the city lacked an authentic french boulangerie, so he opened savoy french bakery. seven years later, long before the wolfgang pucks and emeril lagasses opened their restaurants on the strip, rochat brought andres to downtown vegas, dubbed the nicest place to take someone. now he has andres at the monte carlo and alize atop the palms. here, he shares 10 things you may not have known about the french chef.
