Chef Eric Ripert on the Importance of Restaurants

In March, Eric Ripert -- co-owner and executive chef of New York's prestigious Le Bernardin restaurant -- laid off his entire team. Since then, he's been helping City Harvest, a nonprofit organization feeding those in need. Though the future is uncertain, he tells Michel Martin that he is optimistic his restaurant will serve diners again.
