I am not too proud of having my name associated with some of my restaurants.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't care what a lot of anonymous strangers think about restaurants.
I am very honored for all the distinctions and accolades, but what I am most sensitive to is my clientele and the fact they are pleased with my food and my restaurants.
I promised my daughter I'd name my first restaurant after her, but now the other kids are like, 'Dad, what about us?' I'm gonna have to open four restaurants!
I've made up so many stores about my name, I can't remember.
After all these years I had the privilege of naming my private part, cause we have nicknames. So I named my private part pride... it's not much but at least I have my pride.
I don't tell many people my last name.
Being branded number one restaurant in the world is actually very humbling.
I've always had a dream of owning a restaurant.
I know, whoever visits my restaurant, they have loved the food.
I never wanted to give up my given name. I'm proud of it, but the only problem was that no one remembered it. It was just a little too awkward, and they mispronounced it so frequently.
