I come from the restaurant business; you're talking to a guy used to working 12, 14 hours a day.
I started in the restaurant business at the age of 19 as a waitress. I loved the atmosphere and the camaraderie of the restaurant business. I loved not having to go to an office. I loved making people happy.
I love cooking. I'm in the restaurant business.
As a restaurateur, my job is to basically control the chaos and the drama. There's always going to be chaos in the restaurant business.
In the restaurant business, there's the concept of pivot. Pivot to the stove, pivot to the refrigerator.
In an age when so many groups are rolling out restaurants faster than your local baker makes donuts, my goal is that each restaurant feels hand-crafted. That they have their own soul.
My mom, who's been in the restaurant business for 40 years, is the number-one influence in my life. But I look up to a lot of people in the industry. Tops on my list is Mario Batali. My mom and Mario taught me the same lesson: Food is love.
That's pretty much why I went into show business because I wanted to have a guitar and sing unaccompanied, that was like my fantasy of the perfect life.
Life in the restaurant business can provide a start in the working world for young people or a stable living for many Americans and their families.
