I Think The Time Of The Formal

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.

When You Meet Someone, Ask About What Hobby They Have, Not What They Do. People Always Ask Me About Cooking, But I Prefer To Talk About Tennis Or Boxing.

I Learn More From The One Restaurant That Didn't Work Than From All The Ones That Were Successes.

I Want To Give People A Basic Education, And To Help Them Think For Themselves When It Comes To Food.

Thirty-five Years Ago, Being A Cook Was The Same As Being A Used-car Salesman.
