The sea has never been friendly to man. At most it has been the accomplice of human restlessness.

Joseph Conrad

I started cooking in kitchens right out of high school, and I was lucky to work with a lot of great people, but I had no idea it would turn into this. Of course no one should go into this business because they want to be the next Emeril.
