I Think It's Really Important To Keep

When I Was 27, If I Didn't Put 15 Things In One Dish I Wasn't Happy.

For Me, Cooking Is An Expression Of The Land Where You Are And The Culture Of That Place.

Restaurants Are Like Having Children: Its Fun To Make Them, Maybe, But Then You Have Them For Good And Bad. You Are Going To Have To Raise Them And If Something Goes Wrong When They Are 30 Years Old, They Will Still Be Your Little Boy.

It Was A Revolution, But Now It Is An Evolution. People Know More Ingredients, People Know More Techniques, And People Look For More Ingredients They've Never Looked For Before. In The '80s, You Couldn't Find Raw Tuna In Any Restaurant That Wasn't Japanese. Now, You Can't Find Any Restaurant Without It Or Sashimi.

I Like The Japanese Knives, I Like French Knives. Whatever's Sharp.
