"And these are the things that make you like a good chef is like being adaptable to that and like letting it go off your shoulder."
"You got to show them your value and the value is like your house smells good."
"It's like you have to be able to engage a bit, you have to be able to cook and talk, cook and talk."
"There's a lot more personality than skill."

"The reality is day seven, you're just exhausted. You want nothing to do with anything. And the creative process is dead."
"You have to treat the people that work for you. You don't have to treat them like family, but you have to treat them like a human."
