You Are Going To Be What You

You Know, In 1975 I Couldn't Get A Job In New York City Because I Was American. The Kitchens Were Predominantly Run By French, Swiss, German, And Basically I Got Laughed At. I Had Education, I Had Experience, But Got Laughed At Because I Was American.

I Spent A Lot Of Time On Farms When I Was Young. My Uncle And My Dad Owned A Big Farm.

When I First Decided To Open A Restaurant, I Was Turned Down By Several Banks. It Was The Late 80's And Many Restaurants Were Failing. I Refused To Give Up Because I Knew I Had A Good Concept.

When It Ceases To Be Fun, I'll Stop And Just Stay In My Restaurants.

If You Think Big, Then It's Going To Be Big.
