Summary

In this quote, the speaker, who is likely a chef or television personality, addresses a journalist who questions his transition from the restaurant business to television. The speaker finds the notion amusing and counters the journalist's assumption that filming a season takes 200 days by revealing that it actually only takes 20 days. The quote showcases the speaker's humor and hints at the fast-paced nature of television production, contradicting the perception that transitioning to TV means leaving the restaurant industry entirely.
