"I have actually been in and around the world of private service since I was 17 years old."

"You have to be a jack of all trades and a master of none."

"The guest is not dictating any of those aspects to the hotel. The guest is a guest in that environment and they are receiving the luxury of the creation of the environment that has been rolled out for them."

"If there's small incremental changes or any questions on the dish, then the chef has the opportunity to professionally announce each course and speak to any changes that might have been made."

"People that have that level of success, they have it for a reason. And there's one common trait that I see is Don't settle."

"You can teach the staff and the owners to think three levels deep. So if a situation arises, I don't want them to solve the problem for that one instance. I want to think about three levels deep on how they would solve that problem going forward."

"Life expectancy in the United States is trending down. And I think there are two functions. It's like, how healthy do you eat and how much do you move?"

"Your body's ability to heal itself is remarkable, but it's not if it's constantly fighting a poison that you're putting in on a daily basis."

"I tend to work with people who are conscious of their bodies and minds, understand the impact of food, and don't just want to be entertained."

"I don't use any salt or oil when preparing their food, so I've mastered the art of making my own quick stock and deglazing with it. I also render fat from a product that exists."
