jersey, without any comment about bannon's departure. errol barnett has the latest. >> reporter: good morning. white house officials claim that steve bannon and chief of staff, general john kelly, mutually agreed that it was time for bannon to go, but sources tell cbs news that president trump has been frustrated by bannon's rising profile and by media coverage of bannon as the real mastermind behind president trump's campaign. president trump arrived in new jersey friday amid unanswered questions about his decision to fire chief strategist, steve bannon. >> we'll see what happens with mr. bannon. >> reporter: an explosive press conference earlier in the week, the president refused to express confidence in bannon and downplayed his role in the 2016 campaign. >> mr. bannon came on very late, you know that. i went through 17 senators, governors, and i won all the primaries. mr. bannon came on very much later than
8:05 am
trump's first white house hires, bannon arrived with a nationalist agenda, claiming shortly after the inauguration that he was ready to fight for a new political order. >> if you think they're going to give you your country back without a fight, you are sadly mistaken. every day, every day it is going to be a fight. >> reporter: bannon had been a consistent lightning rod for criticism, partly because of his work for breitbart news. but within hours of his firing, the outlet announced he would return as its executive chairman. and in an interview with "the weekly standard" bannon said his departure signals that the trump presidency his movement fought for is over, but returning to breitbart means he's got his hands back on his weapons and he vowed to crush the opposition. >> is steve bannon a leaker? >> i said he was. >> reporter: unafraid to feud with other white house officials, bannon had butted heads with several colleagues, including a recent clash with
8:06 am
>> is he going to be gone in a week? >> that's up to the president. >> what do you think? what does the mooch think? >> if it was up to me, he would be gone, but it's not up to me. >> reporter: now, "the weekly standard" interview was one of a series of really exit interviews for bannon that he gave this past week. in an earlier exchange he contradicted the president on north korea and called for a maniacal focus on china. bannon says he is jacked up and will likely continue the feuds that he began while he was in the white house. the white house has just announced that president trump will not participate in the kennedy center honors so as to not be a political distraction. >> errol barnett in new jersey, thank you. for more we turn to cbs news political director steve shagaris. mr. bannon went out with guns blazing, didn't he? >> oh, yes, not a surprise. this is a rough and tumble
8:07 am
people described him as a street fighter, not a surprise. he was unhappy with some of the people in the white house, people like jared kushner and gary cohn. he felt these people did not have the same world view as him or the president. >> so what does it mean now for the white house agenda? >> that's a good question. i don't think you're going to see the president back off his america first ideas. i don't think you're going to see him backing off on immigration and trade. but the question is, is what happens now with his foreign policy, with military intervention. these are the kinds of things that steve bannon was pushing to sort of not expand. but now you have generals in charge, now you have people giving him all sorts of ideas about that, so we'll watch that very closely. >> bannon is returning to breitbart news and has said he's going to remain very vovinvolve here and very vocal. there were a lot of people that were worried at the white house, i think, about bannon back on the outside. >> that's the big question, how does bannon use his influence now? is he still going to talk to the president?
8:08 am
about bannon. but he now has a megaphone that is looked at by conservatives and the white working class voters that voted for trump. does bannon use that against the president or is he just going to go after the people he doesn't like in the white house. we'll see how that turns out. >> some people have suggested that he could be more dangerous outside the white house. >> that's right, he could be stirring things up. again, is he going to be a thorn in the president's side or use this to be an ally for the president? we'll have to watch very closely what bannon does with breitbart because it's a very influential website. >> what do you make of this news that the president is not going to participate in the kennedy center honors this year? >> it's interesting. watching the kennedy center honors last year and hearing what people were saying about president trump, you know, it is -- it is a political distraction, i think, to have this president with all these people being honored that don't agree with him whatsoever. you saw people they're either not going to attend the honors or not attend the white house reception beforehand so it has become a dac
8:09 am
the president is saying forget all this. i don't think it's good for anybody for me to be involved. >> obviously we've seen so much fallout since charlottesville and his comments about that. we've heard democrats talk about censure but even members of his own party are rebuking him. what is that political fallout there? >> let's remember, this isn't the first time republicans have rebuked or condemned or criticized president for something that he's done for being very controversial. let's go back to when he attacked the gold star families, when he was criticizing the judge that was involved in the trump university suit, when he had his "access hollywood" tape come out. republicans are very, very critic critical. what's happening now is the first since president but i think you'll see republicans say, look, we don't like some of the things this president does. we're going to come out and protect ourselves and say we don't like some of the things he does, but at the same time, his success is important to their success. >> so the same thing as the election? >> the republicans n
8:10 am
their majority and get re-elected in the mid-terms. how are you going to do that if you completely ignore the president and dump him overboard? i think they can come out and say we don't agree with what he says on these issues, but we still have to work with him on getting tax cuts done and getting his agenda done, because we have to show our voters we're getting things done in washington. >> but in the dialogue in the last week, a lot of that agenda has been completely eclipsed. >> yeah, it's been eclipsed pretty much this entire presidency. every week there is a distraction. the president is getting himself into trouble with whether it's firing james comey, whether it's charlottesville. he's constantly getting himself -- distracting himself from the agenda. that's what frustrates a lot of these republicans. are they going to focus on what we need to get done and show people we're accomplishing things. >> steve, thank you very much for the insight. coming up in the next hour, we'll talk with joshua green, the author of "devil's bargain"
8:11 am
trump-bannon relationship, and he landed the first interview with steve bannon since he was ousted from the white house. that's coming up. it was a dangerous night for police officers in two separate states. one officer was killed and another seriously injured. in kissimmee, florida, near orlando, the officers were checking people in an area of the city known for drug activity when they were shot. they were unable to fire back. three suspects were arrested. a fourth is being sought. >> it's getting tough. it's getting tough to do the job that we've all sworn to protect and uphold and maintain livable neighborhoods, keep people safe. you know, these senseless acts are going on. >> a few hours later in jacksonville, two police officers were shot and wounded. both officers are expected to survive. the suspect was killed. and two pennsylvania state troopers are recovering after they were shot. it happened at a convenience store about an h
8:12 am
pittsburgh. police say the suspect was killed at the scene. an intensive manhunt is under way in spain following the attacks this week in barcelona and at a seaside resort that killed at least 14 people, including one american. more than 100 others were injured. the driver of the van that plowed into crowds in barcelona may still be at large. authorities say a more ambitious attack may have been in the works. spanish officials are raising the security level higher and reinforcing security at tourist hot spots. we have two reports, starting with seth doane in barcelona. seth, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. you can see how packed with pedestrians las ramblas can get on a busy day. being here makes you appreciate how unbelievable it was that that van went careening for seven blocks before coming to a stop. the driver is still on the run. spanish police say the deadly vehicle attacks were the work of
8:13 am
been plotting for a long time. they believe the driver of the van that rammed pedestrians on las ramblas is still at large and have not officially released any specifics on suspects. however, leaked photos reveal some of the baby-faced suspects of terror here in spain. the youngest just 17 years old. spanish media is reporting 22-year-old may have been the van's driver and is likely the main voc us of the video from a security camera in a museum on las ramblas briefly shows the ivanka recenting past the window, even slowed down it gives a sense of the speed that he was traveling but it was in alcanar, 100 miles from barcelona, where terrorists had been planning. sources tell cbs news that the terrorists were planning a larger attack, possibly a vehicle bomb using gas canisters. all being constructed in a house just down the street
8:14 am
it was leveled. it may have been the sort of bomb-making factory and shook this neighbor a block away. the force of the explosion was strong enough that one of the explosions knocked out the glass. >> yes, yes. the glass and my hearing. >> reporter: it also hurt your hearing? she still cannot believe terrorists were just down the street. the working theory, police say, is that deprived of their bomb-making material, terrorists went to plan b, the vehicle attacks, which spanish police say were rudimentary. but they were also deadly and effective. police say the explosion at that house likely prevented the terrorists from carrying out a far deadlier attack. anthony? >> seth doane reporting from barcelona, thanks. among those killed in thursday's attack was jared tucker. he was from the san francisco bay area. de
8:15 am
more on the victims of the terror attacks. debra, good morning. ore on the victims of the terror attacks. >> reporter: good morning. a second day of national mourning here in spain as families around the world struggle to come to terms with the loss of their loved ones. there are still many more victims lying seriously injured in hospital. the victims of the barcelona attack provide a snapshot of the global popularity of the sun-kissed tourist destination. citizens from 34 nations were killed or injured when a terrorist rammed his van into crowds of people ambling along las ramblas. amongst the dead, jared tucker, who was celebrating his wedding anniversary with his wife, heidi. this was their long-awaited honeymoon. when the attack happened, tucker's father, dan, was anxiously waiting for news back home in san francisco after seeing footage of the carnage.
8:16 am
with him, so we were encouraged to feel that if it was an injury as opposed to anything serious. but he wasn't moving. >> reporter: now, he is battling to come to terms with the fact that he will never see his son alive again. >> we have a fishing trip planned on the 30th, a wedding to go to on the 2nd of september, and it's just hard to understand that that's never going to happen. >> reporter: so many families have been ripped apart by this tragedy. italian bruno galotta died when he courageously threw himself between his children and the moving van. the youngest victim was a 3-year-old spanish girl. amongst the oldest, an 80-year-old italian woman. nations from around the world united in grief as they mourn the dead and pray for the injured. a number of those killed here in
8:17 am
accounted for. the families of some of those missing are making the agonizing trip to this city in the hope that they will be reunited with their loved ones. >> debora patta, thank you. this morning police in finland say the man suspected in a deadly knife attack is an 18-year-old from morocco. two were killed and six injured friday. security was tightened across the country afterward. police shot the suspect in the leg during his capture. four other people have reportedly been detained. the stabbings are being investigated as a terrorist act. in virginia, the man accused of driving his car into a crowd during the charlottesville demonstrations last weekend faces additional charges. five malicious wounding felonies were filed yesterday against james alex fields jr. he was already charged with second-degree murder in the death of a counterprotester, heather heyer.
8:18 am
hurt suffered permanent injuries. rumors of a ku klux klan rally prompted a major counterprotest in durham, north carolina. hundreds of demonstrators gathered friday at the site where a confederate statue was toppled on monday. the klan event never happened, to the relief of many residents. police say the counterprotest was largely peaceful. organizers of a free speech rally today in boston are distancing themselves from the racist groups that demonstrated in charlottesville. counterdemonstrators are expected to attend. hundreds of police officers will be deployed to deter violence. the rally will be held at the nation's oldest city park, boston common. dimarco morgan is there. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, anthony. the so-called free speech rally starts at noon not far from where we are standing and thousands of protesters are expected to atejd. you mentioned that officers are ready and are prepared. they have designated areas
8:19 am
both groups. the alt-right and counterprotesters will be in one area. boston's police commissioner has deployed hundreds of security cameras and have a list of prohibited items. pretty much any and everything that could be used as a weapon. there are planned speakers for today's event that are sure to promote one crowd of protesters and provoke the other. we had a chance to speak with the organizer of today's event, john medler, a 23-year-old student at pittsburg state college. he understands that white supremacist groups are planning to attend today's event and rally behind his organization, but he told us he will not tolerate hate speech. >> reasonable people on both sides who are tolerant enough to not resort to violence when they hear something they disagree with. reasonabl people who are willing to actually listen to each other need to come together and start promoting that instead of letting all of
8:20 am
groups on the left and the right determine what we can and cannot say. >> reporter: you can tell that the roads are pretty much open right here behind me, but they will be closed off when the rally starts, or i should say an hour before the rally starts in an effort, again, to prevent what happened in charlottesville. the rally starts today at 12:00 noon. we'll send things back to you. >> demarco, thank you. a wildfire in central oregon has forced the evacuation of about 600 people. the fire closed access to part of a wilderness area and also foer forced the closing of a regional highway in the so-called zone of totality for monday's solar eclipse. that's where the moon completely blocks out the sun. it stretches more than 2400 miles from the pacific northwest to the southeast. about 12 million people live in these areas and about 10 million more are expected to visit on monday. visitors already started arriving in oregon days in advance. the influx of star gazers has

8:39 am
time now for "morning rounds," our look at the medical news of the week. this morning we'll be talking about a disease, the impact of which is felt around the country. >> according to the alzheimer's association, more than 5 million americans are living with the disease. that's one in ten adults aged 65 and older. and it's the sixth leading cause of death in the country. we're joined by dr. devi, a neurologist and the director of the new york memory and health aging services to discuss some of the challenges behind communicating with alzheimer's patients. good morning. >> good morning. >> this is not just about the patient, it' e
8:40 am
surrounding them that's affected. what are some of the things that people can keep in mind? >> you know, i always think of alzheimer's as an illness of the family and of the community, so it's not -- it's very much an illness that impacts everyone around the patient, including the patient themselves. so the communication has to be something that's thought about. patients have to always not -- they should not feel patronized. so the common thinking so the common thinking that, well, treat the person like you treat a child totally doesn't apply. they're adults. they're very capable people and in some areas still exceptionally functional. so you want to be able to address those issues. you want to always maintain a sense of compassion but at the same time be able to direct them in the right way. >> so when you're in a situation, for example, when a patient says something that's not right, how -- do you correct them
8:41 am
>> i've been working with alzheimer's since 1994 and there's hardly ever a time when not correcting the patient caused dangerous consequence. so usually allow them the considerate comfort of their error, so let them just think whatever it is that they're thinking, unless there's a real reason to correct. because when you're correcting, what the patient may hear is something along the lines of you're stupid. that's not your intent, but because they have a sense perhaps of reduced confidence, anything that you do that may sound even vaguely critical, even though that's not what you want it to be, can be taken in a negative way. >> when you look at being independent and ensuring that they're safe, to how do you balance that? >> again, and, you know, it's -- even though we hear stories of patients with alzheimer's who are lost, for the most part patients are able to find their
8:42 am
so a big area of independence is being able to leave home when you want to leave home, to meet with people when you want to meet with them, and to d what you want to do when you want to do it. sometimes that can be a problem, for example, if the person -- yes, wakes up in middle of night and gets dressed because they think it's time to go to work. in a situation like that, don't tell them you retired from work ten years ago. don't tell them it's the middle of the night. say today's a national holiday. there's no -- you don't have to get dressed today so why don't you go back to bed? >> sounds like it can be stressful for the caregivers. >> very stressful, and women bear the brunt of care giving burden around the world. and particularly with alzheimer's disease. and spouses are particularly affected, depressed and isolated, so what i usually tell family members who are involved in this is
8:43 am
whoever's the primary caregiver. don't tell them, well, i know better, dad isn't like that when he's with me. that may be true, but support mom in terms of making sure that you give her some time to do her own thing. ask you about the musician, glen campbell, who passed away from alzheimer's this month. in part because i was on his last tour. when he had been diagnosed with alzheimer's for a year, but he was still able to perform and music still seemed to reach him somehow. as you understand it, what's that about? >> well, alzheimer's primarily affects memory for events and episodes initially. it only rarely affects memory for procedures. music is a procedural memory, just like walking is a memory for a procedure, driving is a memory for procedure. and for glen, music is something that's overlearned, so it's something hard wired into his brain, so it's not surprisin a

8:49 am
>> they are paying full price for each ticket you buy, so you ear right, and they acknowledged they'll be operating at pretty substantial loss for a little while. >> how do they make this work? >> what they're hoping is they're going the build such a large consumer base, a large scriber base, that they'll add value to movie theaters and studios in some way and say at some point after we prove ourselves we'll be made whole. >> they changed the pricing. it was higher before. how many people are signing up for this right now? >> they don't have numbers that have been released but in december they had about 20,000 sub can you describers and as part of this deal they just sold themselves to a data firm. they have to have 100,000 subscribers at some point this year. they say they're well ahead of their business models, so they have quite a number of subscribers. >> at the same time, the industry is not very happy about this and seeing the world's largest theater change called movie pass a small fringe player and said its mod selt
8:50 am
why do they dislike this so much? >> i think what they're concerned about is moviegoers are going to get used to this kind of subscription model where you pay $10 and have unlimited access to movies and that's going to mean that everybody balks at the idea of what in new york you pay about $15 to see a movie and that's going to kind of reduce prices, similar to when red box started renting movies far dollar a day. >> like a spotify music model. >> exactly. >> is amc honoring this? >> they have to because they have a deal with mastercard and that's what the card works with. but they say they're reviewing their legal options. >> they make their money off concessions. are they still going to make that money? >> movie pass says they have data that shows that their customers buy more concessions than regular customers. concessions than regular customers, so it could be advantageous to amc to actually honor this. >> very interesting change in the movie business. thank you. >> thanks for having me.

story. more changes at the white house as president trump fires steve bannon. word that the white house chief strategist was forced out came as the president attended national security meetings at camp david. this morning the president tweeted a message thanking bannon for his role in the campaign. he also includes a dig at hillary clinton. >> reporter: the news of steve bannon's ouster was quickly followed by the announcement he would be returning to brit bart, a site he himself described as a platform for the alt-right. the white house says the decision was a mutual one between bannon and the president's chief of staff, general john kelly. kelly has been tasked with bringing order to the chaotic administration and cbs news has learned president trump was increasingly irritated by media coverage of bannon as the mastermind of the oval office. the final nail in the coffin for bannon, though, was likely a series of on the record comments
9:02 am
he contradicted the president by saying there is no military solution to north korea. he also openly relished undermining his administration colleagues with whom he disagrees. bannon now says he is jacked up and will fight for the president from the outside. apparently taking on corporate e loots, the media, and those on capitol hill. anthony? >> errol barnett, thanks. for more, we're pleased to welcome joshua green, the author of the best-selling book "devil's bargain" about the inner workings of the trump campaign, and he's also a national correspondent for bloomberg business week. late friday he conducted the first interview with steve bannon since his white house departure. in that interview, bannon said he's going to war for mr. trump. joshua, good morning. >> good morning. >> what exactly did he say? >> the big question about bannon's exit was would he turn on president trump and go after him. a lot of kefbs including some in the white house were worried about that. bannon said he's going to war for
9:03 am
against his enemies on capitol hill, in the mainstream media, and in the business world, in corporate america. >> along those lines, who has the most to lose now that steve bannon is out of the white house? >> i think the people that bannon deriseively refers to as the white house democrats. gary cohn, steve mnuchin and jared kushner, with whom bannon carried on a very bitter struggle throughout his time in the white house. i think bannon from the outside is going back to breitbart news, the website he ran before he joined trump, and will resume his attacks on republicans that he feels aren't faithful enough to the agenda that trump got elected on. >> how did he characterize his ouster? >> he characterized it as amicable. he said that his one-year anniversary working for trump was just a couple of days ago, that he never planned on staying for long. that this had been discussed
9:04 am
with the president. it was going to happen a week earlier but the charlottesville tragedy cropped up. they decided to wait. but now everyone agreed that it was time for him to leave. other people said he had been fired and pushed out, but bannon denied that. >> there was an interesting quote from "the weekly standard," he told them the trump presidency that was pot f -- fought for is over. what do you make of that? >> i think what he was saying, and he and i didn't discuss this directly, was that he had great plans for trump in the white house when they won and thought that he was going to set off a political realignment, that the government in the country would be remade in the image that trump talked about on the campaign, and trump as president has consistently failed to carry that off. so i think bannon views his departure as a way of getting trump's agenda back on track and trying to fight these same fights from the outside rather than from the inside. >> "the washington post" and some others in their reporting on bannon's
9:05 am
book may have played a role in his ouster, that the president in effect didn't like the credit that bannon was given for the campaign victory. >> well, i say in the book that i don't think that donald trump would be president today without steve bannon because bannon was really the guy to pioneered this brand of nationalist populism that got trump elected, and bannon also spent years working behind the scenes to tear down hillary clinton, even before he joined trump's campaign. if there's one thing we know about donald trump, it's that he doesn't like to share credit with other people. i had a white house official tell me last week the fact that bannon's name appears on my book cover before trump's name was something that deeply upset the president. >> it would come as little surprise i think to anybody that has seen some of the reactions we've seen from the president before. >> yeah. and sometimes it's on twitter, sometimes it's at a press conference, but he can get very unhappy. >> joshua green, thank you. >> thanks for having me. tomorrow morning on "face

scientists, amateur astronomers and people who have never seen a total eclipse are getting ready for a once in a lifetime sky show. parts of the nation will fall into a shadow for a few minutes on monday. it will be visible across much of the continental u.s. >> adriana diaz is in carbondale, illinois, the center of the totality zone. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. come monday every one of these seats will be filled with star gazers. we've met some people who have been waiting for decades for monday's event and one amateur astronomer has logged some miles, the first to cross the u.s. in 99 years. the road to the eclipse has been long, exhaustingly long for gary parkerson. >> when you first realized a total eclipse would cross the country, what was your reaction? >> i first realized it in

my reaction was i needed to live long enough to see this thing. 63 seemed impossibly old in 1967 and it doesn't feel at all old now. >> reporter: for the last 15 months, gary, the editor of an amateur astronomy magazine, has pedaled an average of 50 miles a day to promote the science spectacular to kids across america. >> what is this here? >> this is a telescope. >> reporter: he brings the skies down to this level through a telescope rigged to his bike. >> something between 30,000 and 40,000 people have seen celestial things. >> maybe a few future astronauts? >> a few future astronomers and hopefully an astronaut or two. >> reporter: he set out from his hometown in louisiana in may, 2016, with the goal of pedaling all 48 contiguous states, preaching the galactic gospel ahead of monday's eclipse. his only companion is his 150-pound bike. he

9:14 am
all we have to do is look up. >> do you think the time is right to be united? >> i hope so. i think we need all the good news we can get. >> reporter: to make sure people experience this unifying moment safely, gary has been handing out eclipse glasses like these. now, he's given away already 7,000 of them. it's important to have them on as the moon crosses over the sun forming a krcresent. but once it passes, you can take them off and take it all in. >> to look at what the eclipse will look like for millions of americans, we turn to lonnie quinn from wcbs tv. >> well, this is going to be one of the great mother nature events. as we get closer to the eclipse, we have set up our own little model solar system right here in studio 57 to explain what a solar eclipse is. we know that the earth revolves around the sun and the moon revolves around th
9:15 am
but twice a year they fall into alignment and you're going to get some kinds of eclipse when this happens, be it a lunar eclipse or solar eclipse. but the solar eclipse is the big show. this little moon will block out the light from the sun. even though the sun is 400 times larger to the moon, the moon is 400 times closer to the earth. as a result, the sun and the moon look like they're about the same size when you look up at the sky. now, when the sun hits the moon and casts its shadow on the earth, you get two different types of shadows. most will see the penumbra where a portion of the sun will still be visible, but a select few of you will get the umbra and that's where the moon completely blocks out the light from the sun. it is called totality and the area where it hits is known is the path of totality. if you are in that path, you will literally see daytime turn into nighttime. the temperaturesil
9:16 am
stars will even be visible in the daytime hours. this will last anywhere from a minute and a half to three minutes. it's the only time that you do not need the protective glasses. now in this medium gray-shaded area, this is an area where 90% of the sun will be covered by the moon. it includes cities like seattle, denver, atlanta, and then north and south of this line is an area where say three-quarters of the sun will be covered and that includes places like san francisco and philadelphia. it is one of the solar systems greatest sights. get out there and enjoy it. back to you, anthony and dana. >> lonnie, thank you. so cool. we'll have special coverage of the eclipse this monday afternoon starting at 1:00 eastern, 12:00 central right here on cbs. from the stand-up stage to "saturday night live" and most recently broadway. emmy award-winning writer and comedian john melany has no shortage of outlets from his

recommendations for folks looking for like a more wholesome new york experience? >> yes. yes, yes, yes, yes. if you are some dumb folks looking to just get murdered, i know just the place for you. >> that then changed the course of my career exponentially. i was writing comedy to compare it to writing comedy at "saturday night live." it would be if you were a farmer and picking up rocks and suddenly you're an astronaut on the moon and picking up rocks. now, you're still just picking up rocks, but you're on the moon. and i would often look around at "saturday night live" and go i'm on the moon. i mean it was just -- it was a whole level of rare air that i can't believe i got to experience. >> john mulaney, everyone. >> while he thrived at snl as a writer and an on-screen presence -- >> i was in love with veronica. she would baby-sit us on friday nights. in my head when i was

9:26 am
this tour is done? >> i don't make plans anymore. so i'm not living minute to minute. a professor here at georgetown once said that. we were in a scene study workshop and someone said i think my character is just living day by day. and he said well, that's interesting, you know, mulaney lives minute to minute. i always liked that. >> his current tour will end next year with three nights at radio city music hall in new york where he will be filming his next one-hour special. if you missed "oh hello" on broadway, it's on netflix and is very funny. >> it's hysterical. i watched it with my son and cannot stop laughing. >> those characters hit a little too close to home. >> we see them all the time here. >> i'll come for the

9:38 am
>> people started calling at midnight. >> you're getting people from where? >> everywhere, all over the world, all over the country. >> all over the world? >> mm-hmm. >> does that seem bizarre to you? >> yeah. it's making kind of no sense to me. >> so what happened? >> i think that i found who i was supposed to be. >> i'd like an eggplant and summer squash relish. >> her famous multi-course meals which change every night and look like a supper club an hour south of bangor, maine, usually last three to four hours. on the night we visited, the meal included a selection of cheeses, pea soup with crab salad and smoked ricotta, an elevated wedge salad with bacon and buttermilk, hake as the main course and frozen custard with berries to finish. >> it wa

>> this is sandy stream? >> yes. this is where i used to play and ice skate. >> at first erin french grew up with far different plans. >> i grew up here in freedom and ran away with big dreams of becoming a doctor. it didn't work out. i became pregnant unexpectedly and -- >> in college. >> in college, yeah. dropped out. which was really terrifying. i was supposed to be like the perfect child. i was supposed to be a model student and life took me in a different direction. came home as a single mom and started working in my dad's diner again because i had those skills. i started working there when i was younger. and started to hone my visions of food and figure out what i was supposed to do with my life. >> french got married, but as the marriage fell apart, so did she. >> i found challenges of anxiety and depression just through the struggles of the marriage. and while trying to raise my son, betwe

prescription drugs i checked into rehab because i was dying. i mean my body was literally falling apart, i could feel it. i could feel that i wasn't going to survive. >> for a time after, she traveled around maine and cooked out of an old air stream trailer. she opened this lost kitchen in freedom in 2014, in a hydropowered mill. there is one room with 40 seats. >> oysters with cucumber and dill. >> it's not just about the food, it's about the way that we make people feel when they're here. the only way i know how to serve meals and to create a space is to make it feel like it's my home. i think people are starving to feel loved and to feel cared for really well, and that's what we do when they come here. >> food is still pretty important, though. >> always is. has to be. >> how would you classify your cooking? >> you know, it's very special. it's ingredient
9:41 am
i never write a menu and try to confuse you with foods. i just tell you what the ingredients are, because that's -- those are the real stars. and i feel like it's my job not to manipulate them and not to overdo them, but just to make them the best version of whatever those ingredients are. >> old school is a term that gets used too much and becomes a cliche, but you're old school. >> i think so. all our reservations are done by pencil and paper. we just got a website a few months ago and it's always been really simple. i look at the world in a simple way. >> the lost kitchen is not on open table. >> no. if i did that, it would take away someone's job here who's making a living being here in this community. we thought about that. a lot of people do think they have a lot of ideas of how i should do things. >> what else do they say? >> i should be open more days. i should be open for breakfast, lunch, dinner, go longer in the year. i should charge more. >> but you know with this attention it's going to get,
9:42 am
people saying this is how you should do things. >> yeah, it's terrifying. >> for now, the lost kitchen is mostly a family affair. sometimes french gets her son to pitch in, but it's her mom who really helps keep the place humming, helping in the dining room and the wine shop downstairs. her dad, the one who taught her cooking basics all those years ago, sold his diner in 2006. >> my dad didn't understand why i was trying -- why was i trying to make it my own? why couldn't i just make it the way he taught me to make it. make it this way. you can make money making clam rolls this way. >> make a burger, pancakes, whatever. >> yeah. he didn't understand that. he's like why are you doing this? people don't care. they just wanti to be fed. take their money and move on. >> did he ever understand that? >> no. but i think he's getting it right now. >> this is the greatest joy, i have to tell you.
