It's never about the screwup - it's always about the recovery. That's the thing about it... if it comes out a little rare you call it carpaccio. It comes out a little overcooked, you shred it up and put in on a sandwich.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It can kind of screw up things if you're trying to overwork something.
I was well warned about English food, so it did not surprise me, but I do wonder sometimes, how they ever manage to prise it up long enough to get a plate under it.
It is the neglect of timely repair that makes rebuilding necessary.
I take apart restaurant menus everywhere I go. I kind of tick off a lot of chefs in restaurants because I'll say, 'You can keep all of the sauce, keep all of that garbage - just give me that piece of fish. Forget the salad dressing, I don't need all of that extra stuff. Just give it to me straight up, and I'll eat it.'
I almost chopped my thumb off once. Just before I left home, I was about ten or eleven years old, and I was trying to open a bone. Can you imagine that? A bone! I was trying to get the marrow out of a bone, and I took the ax, and I went to chop it, and something slipped, and the ax went right down there and damn near cut it off.
It's so beautifully arranged on the plate - you know someone's fingers have been all over it.
A good butcher is important to have. It's like a shrink.
I'm quite handy with a screwdriver. I like making and fixing things.
So I will say it with relish. Give me a hamburger but hold the lawsuit.
If you screw up and do something, don't lie about it; come clean.
