Mom Ran The House, So We Grew

I Don't Limit Myself.

I'm Working Harder Than Ever Now, And I'm Putting On My Pants The Same As I Always Have. I Just Get Up Every Day And Try To Do A Little Better Than The Day Before, And That Is To Run A Great Restaurant With Great Food, Great Wine, And Great Service. That's My Philosophy.

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.
