If I was cooking 369 00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,879 Speaker 4: for my family, I do it every day. But to 370 00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,800 Speaker 4: get to get their measurements right how much of each 371 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:05,120 Speaker 4: item at a larger scale. 372 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 8: Is difficult for me. It's a you know, I got 373 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,639 Speaker 8: to try and try and try again. People don't understand this. 374 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 8: And I know some really wonderful cookbook authors that help chefs. 375 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:16,760 Speaker 8: Because the chef's come in and they go, this is 376 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 8: the recipe and it's for eight hundred people, They're like, 377 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:24,920 Speaker 8: that doesn't translate. So what she does is she has 378 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 8: to rewrite for home. Now you're saying the exact opposite. 379 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,240 Speaker 8: When you're doing it on a one to one. People 380 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:34,159 Speaker 8: don't understand that. 381 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:38,080 Speaker 2: Mathematically and flavor wise, you don't just multiply. 382 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,680 Speaker 4: Right, you can't multiply. And and it's you know, it's 383 00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,359 Speaker 4: an experiment. Because I got one hundred pounds of beef 384 00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:45,959 Speaker 4: that I just paid for and this experiment goes wrong? 385 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:48,399 Speaker 4: What do I do with this meat that I've cooked 386 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:48,760 Speaker 4: for this. 387 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 2: He'sarned a couple of hi, Neil, Yes, old buddy, what 388 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 2: do you got old garbage boil disposal? 389 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,720 Speaker 1: Neil at your servant. Yeah, but that's true. 390 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,080 Speaker 2: When you're using you know, you have to do it 391 00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:07,440 Speaker 2: like you would for a family meal, right, and then 392 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:08,680 Speaker 2: you have to decide. 393 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:11,960 Speaker 1: How that translates, Yeah, and how you scale that up. 394 00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,240 Speaker 4: And when I have the time because my kitchen we 395 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:18,280 Speaker 4: have a commissary. They're from seven am to three pm 396 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:20,000 Speaker 4: every day, so I don't have much time to get 397 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,400 Speaker 4: in there to cook anything because everything's occupied. 398 00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:25,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's being used so only so much real estate. 399 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:29,359 Speaker 2: You know, you gotta have room for I don't know, cars, shoes, 400 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:37,560 Speaker 2: what do you collect, Natalie pills?

I'm no better, but I still 406 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,120 Speaker 2: get the shaking head of my wife as well. 407 00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 1: Okay, so the the tri tip is spectacular. 408 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 2: I know there's ups and downs that come with all 409 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 2: of this, But in the fifteen years, coming this Wednesday 410 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:12,560 Speaker 2: for Gisathos, and again you've got to if you're not 411 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:17,119 Speaker 2: familiar with Gisathos, I have never recommended it to someone 412 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 2: and had them go, yeah, that was good. It's always 413 00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:25,120 Speaker 2: like holy hell. It's never yeah, I didn't know about 414 00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:28,600 Speaker 2: that place. It was tasty. If it's always, it's always 415 00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:33,280 Speaker 2: the proper reaction. It's a special place in that fifteen years. 416 00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:41,360 Speaker 2: We'll start with you, senior. What's the biggest learning thing, 417 00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,359 Speaker 2: the biggest thing that has stood out to you in 418 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:48,080 Speaker 2: this process of having so many restaurants now. 419 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 4: Locally, Probably just watching people's reaction to food and they 420 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,879 Speaker 4: guess some sort of connection, whether it's to a memory 421 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,880 Speaker 4: or whether they they've never experienced this kind of food, 422 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:03,919 Speaker 4: Like the teacher own what the heck is the teacherer 423 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:09,159 Speaker 4: own that type of thing to hear people question like, 424 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,480 Speaker 4: what is this? Why is this? What makes us so good? 425 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:15,639 Speaker 4: I grew up eating it able to communicate with people 426 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:17,919 Speaker 4: and talk to them about my food and what we 427 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,520 Speaker 4: do and how I started and what this means and 428 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:24,560 Speaker 4: what we've grown and how we've developed a family and 429 00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:28,200 Speaker 4: employees and how I want my employees to be proud 430 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:31,199 Speaker 4: of what we do. And for the most part, some 431 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:33,520 Speaker 4: are there are you know, just a segment that really 432 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:37,639 Speaker 4: don't care. But for the most part, it's really I 433 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 4: don't know. Yeah, well, you're sharing your art, You're sharing 434 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,600 Speaker 4: a piece of yourself with this stuff. And I got 435 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:48,280 Speaker 4: to tell you, talking to many chefs and restaurant owners 436 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:54,879 Speaker 4: after the world opened back up after covid IS, they 437 00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,520 Speaker 4: said it was just great to see people right to 438 00:22:57,640 --> 00:22:58,480 Speaker 4: react to your food. 439 00:22:58,600 --> 00:22:58,760 Speaker 2: Right. 440 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 1: You can't do that with delivery. 441 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:00,760 Speaker 4: You can't do that. 442 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:02,480 Speaker 2: But it'd be weird if you asked to if you 443 00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:04,160 Speaker 2: delivered everything and asked to come in. 444 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:07,359 Speaker 1: I fire, I'm the owner and chef, and I would 445 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:09,400 Speaker 1: like to come sit you watching watch you eat. 446 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,560 Speaker 4: I thought really hard enough to delivery, ask Armanda Junior. 447 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 4: He was pushing and pushed us to no, I'm not 448 00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 4: able to explain what the food is if they don't 449 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:20,399 Speaker 4: like it. I'll never know all these things. But it 450 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:21,960 Speaker 4: was it's a vital part of our business. 451 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 1: You have to, yeah, Junior, I think. 452 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:29,720 Speaker 3: For me it was really just understanding how to really 453 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:32,640 Speaker 3: challenge yourself because they don't teach you how to run 454 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:37,400 Speaker 3: a restaurant. You know, I always everything you could. Yeah, 455 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:39,200 Speaker 3: I think I could teach it now. 456 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:39,960 Speaker 1: You know, well you could. 457 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,960 Speaker 2: But do you think that that unless somebody has that 458 00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,560 Speaker 2: time in it, that you could just be academic about 459 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:45,879 Speaker 2: it now? 460 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 3: Because so many of the decisions that you make happen 461 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:50,679 Speaker 3: because of something that happened now and need to be 462 00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 3: solved now. And I think the learning curve of that 463 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,200 Speaker 3: can only be taught by hospitality. But what I enjoy 464 00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:57,879 Speaker 3: about it is it just kind of always keeps you 465 00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,520 Speaker 3: on the edge of your seat, and as a operator 466 00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:02,560 Speaker 3: of a business, it keeps you really in tune with 467 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:04,199 Speaker 3: what's going on with the city, what's going on with 468 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,960 Speaker 3: the people, what you know, what trends change, and what 469 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:07,720 Speaker 3: goes up and down. 470 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:08,959 Speaker 6: And I love the study of that. 471 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 3: But I also think that this position, this industry really 472 00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:15,960 Speaker 3: puts it in front of you all day. Every day, 473 00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:19,160 Speaker 3: you're dealing with people NonStop, which is a very challenging thing. 474 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:21,000 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, because some suck. 475 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:27,000 Speaker 2: Natalie, explain what you do for the business and what 476 00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 2: you've learned in the time that you've been there, because 477 00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:30,520 Speaker 2: you haven't been there since the beginning. 478 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,520 Speaker 1: I have, Oh you have, bring that mic to you, 479 00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:38,600 Speaker 1: will you? There you go. I do a little bit 480 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:39,960 Speaker 1: of everything in that business. 481 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:43,439 Speaker 5: There's I put out a lot of fires that they 482 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:46,600 Speaker 5: come up, and there's kind of nothing. There's no position 483 00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 5: in that business that I can't do that I haven't 484 00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 5: filled in for it's the best. And you know, as 485 00:24:53,560 --> 00:25:01,480 Speaker 5: we've expanded, the problems have expanded, and the fifteen years 486 00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:05,240 Speaker 5: has been a learning experience and there's always something to learn. 487 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:08,560 Speaker 5: And I've got my teachers right here. 488 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,320 Speaker 1: And sounds like all of you kind of have to 489 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:12,720 Speaker 1: learn from each other too. Yeah. 490 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,280 Speaker 5: I've also learned why they say don't do business with family. 491 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,320 Speaker 2: That's the biggest thing that. Yeah, but you know you 492 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:20,320 Speaker 2: said something and. 493 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:22,680 Speaker 1: About the. 494 00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:27,520 Speaker 2: As things grow, so do the problems. And you need 495 00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:33,000 Speaker 2: you need a Swiss army knife like yourself. In any 496 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:36,160 Speaker 2: any good business needs somebody who has a bird's eye 497 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:39,439 Speaker 2: view of all the pieces.
