Perfect opportunity to write 'Dirty Laundry' headline missed

Why do people always forget Thomas Keller has a restaurant in Las Vegas?

People remember the French Laundry, Per Se, and, slightly less often, Bouchon in Yountville. But people are either surprised or doubtful when I tell them that Keller, too, has joined the Las Vegas cash-fest. His entry is Bouchon Las Vegas.

Anyway, apparently Keller's video uplink connecting Per Se in New York to French Laundy in Yountville via 32-inch plasma TVs is going to be getting quite a workout: Keller has split with his 10-year director of operations and "life partner" Laura Cunningham, the Chronicle's Inside Scoop reports.
