Fortunately, many people also enjoy a stand-alone as a sample of something new, like trying the special at a favourite restaurant one night instead of going for the usual.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Instead of going out, I'm trying to encourage people to have a memorable experience in their own home. We call it 'Delicioso Night In.' I invite the people I care about the most. Then, when I get a lot of people together, I like to have finger foods.
It's so important to have that independence. You know it yourself: Everyone needs evenings of their own.
I love creating new things. It's difficult to be creative once a restaurant's open. People want the same dishes. For me, the creativity is in opening a new place and starting a new menu.
I'm the type of person who doesn't want to sit alone in a restaurant or bar.
For me to go to a restaurant and eat something that is not only good, but totally new, is a double thrill. Double the enjoyment.
Unfortunately, some people go to a restaurant, and they aren't really there to enjoy themselves. They're there because they think they deserve to be there or because they can just afford it.
It is well to be alone. It fertilizes the creative impulse.
Maybe 'loner' is too strong a word, but I've always enjoyed being on my own.

There's always a dinner to go to. There're always loads of people around. I was having fun working with my friends. For a while it all just kind of rolled together in a great way.
