I Want To Teach [people] The Secret

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

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 Left School When I Was 14 To Work In Kitchens.

I Think It's Really Important To Keep On Staying Motivated.

For Example, You Can Eat A Caesar Salad And Say, "wow, I Ate So Healthy Today." You Forget There Was A Quarter-cup Of Oil In There, And All The Calories Are From Fat. So It's Better If You Eat A Grilled Chicken Breast, Some Steamed Brown Rice, And A Little Salad With Balsamic Vinegar On Top.
