Virtuoso who can not taste

The Guardian has an interesting article about a chef that after being lauded as one of the pioneers of " Molecular Gastronomy" overcame tongue cancer to bounce back to produce some of Chicago's finest cuisine.
Anyone over in the windy city able to vouch for his goods? Sounds like a real struggle and I commend him for keeping a chin up approach on what must be a devastating issue. Like a deaf composer or blind painter , not having the facility to taste and be a chef would be difficult.
Having quality help probably goes a long way to his success and a big hats off should be expressed to the fellow chefs in his brigade.
