There is nothing nicer than a kitchen really made for a cook. Things that are designed to be used always have an innate beauty.
Freshness is essential. That makes all the difference.
It's simply a very romantic place. Just one look at any of those streets, and you couldn't be anywhere else - it's so beautiful, and there's that location, and the sense of the free spirit. Who couldn't become ravenous in such a place?

I wouldn't keep him around long if I didn't feed him well.
I fell in love with the public, the public fell in love with me, and I tried to keep it that way.
