"I’m a perfectionist. If something is just "good enough", it’s not the best it can be."

"I really enjoy the instant feedback from my customers. To watch the faces of our guests light up as they take a bite, many of whom are tired of the traditional fare - I almost feel like I've changed someone's life when they tell me it's the first time they've tasted a new dish and really enjoyed it."
