I have 20 restaurants. And if one doesn't work, it doesn't work.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Maybe there are too many restaurants. Maybe some of mine need to close. So be it. I'll live with the market place.
I learned more from the one restaurant that didn't work than from all the ones that were successes.
I worked in 40 restaurants over a five-year period.
I always worked in institutions, I never had a restaurant of my own before, but I have opened over 30 hotels, restaurants and casinos. I understand what it takes to keep them running.
The world has changed, and it's almost been 11 years. I have 975 employees. I have six restaurants. We haven't opened any new ones in almost three years.
It's a very, very difficult space to operate in, the restaurant business-it requires a lot of human beings to intersect at just the right place to make it all work out.
Well, I got people that help me with the restaurant. I don't have to be at the restaurant 24 hours a day.
I only have the restaurant. If I do other things, it's only to do with the restaurant.
Some chefs go crazy with one restaurant, and if I had 20, I would go nuts.
I don't get to cook in my own restaurant.
