If you look at the video at the top of <a href="http://blog.belm.com/2009/05/05/best-meal-ever/" rel="nofollow">this post</a>, which was filmed in 2000 or 2001, you can see that he has a bit of a shuffle, and one of his hands is tucked in. As for the recent pig's head video: I don't think he was exhibiting any change in symptoms, he was merely gesturing - probably because he could.

I have met Chef Henderson and didn't notice any symptoms myself in 2006, but I wasn't looking. He was dining with his father the first time I ever ate at St. John. When I saw the pig head video the first time I noticed the symptoms and wondered if things were getting worse again. But now having seen the "On Authenticity" video for the first time I am reminded how horrific this disease is, especially for someone who works so much with their hands. Anyone know exact dates for the recording of these videos? I wish I could find some dates for these videos.
