"This rice got it's name from Chef Virginia Willis, in her new cookbook "Bon Appetit Y'all". She calls it this because until she attended L'Acadamie de Cuisine, she couldn't make rice perfectly. The tuition for one year was $20,000, so hence the name. I have made this rice and this method is fool-proof, and very good."
