“Well, I mean, how is every way, but why I think is, I mean, literally everything on the menu has been touched by fire somehow. And there's so many different ways that we've kind of explored cooking with fire. It's not all barbecue. It's not all grilled. It's all these kind of just ways that we've come up to cook with that are based on what the product needs, right? I think really great cooking is based on what the product needs. So if you get a fish in one day, it has a certain taste, a certain texture, a certain amount of moisture inside. The next day it changes. So you have to change your cooking based on that. We approach the fire the same way to really base it around, finding great products, amazing products, kind of the best thing in. And local existence.”

“I think I was six or so, and that was Tang Sudo. No kidding. I homed down in Florida, yeah. And I started with Tong Sudo. And my parents got me into it. I think I had always been into it.

“Well, martial arts, I mean, I've been doing that for as long as I can stand. So I don't, you know, my earliest memories are like four years old in the backyard. My friends kicking me or something in the stomach. I don't know. We've got an argument. But in cooking, it's kind of the same way. I don't know. There was really no direct path to starting cooking. I have pictures of me when I had probably, I don't know, four with a little chef's hat on, floppy chef boy or D-hat, and mud pies. So it was always something that was maybe of interest to me. And I can't, you know, this is a super common question. I'm sure you know. And I can never answer it really promptly because I just don't, I have no idea. It was just always there.”

“We used to throw a blanket, like a little cashmere blanket, and I just covered up from the guest. But then we started leaving it uncovered. And it's very interesting to see people's reactions. They loved it.”

“Play with fire was the old one. That was one of the guys who does, his name was Jim Ailes, really, really amazing creative designer does all the stuff for the Monterey Bay Aquarium. And he thought we should write play with Fire on the back because that's what we do.”
