But that's fantastic. 341 00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:37,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, good glad you like it? 342 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 1: No, that is really really great. What makes you like? 343 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 1: What inspires you to when you add something new, even 344 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:47,960 Speaker 1: a limited time, What inspires you to? In this case, 345 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:49,639 Speaker 1: the track tip always inspired. 346 00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 4: I just don't have the time to get in the 347 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,600 Speaker 4: kitchen and cook for ten restaurants. If I was cooking 348 00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,879 Speaker 4: for my family, I do it every day. But to 349 00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,800 Speaker 4: get to get their measurements right how much of each 350 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:05,120 Speaker 4: item at a larger scale. 351 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 7: Is difficult for me. It's a you know, I got 352 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,639 Speaker 7: to try and try and try again. People don't understand this. 353 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 7: And I know some really wonderful cookbook authors that help chefs. 354 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:16,760 Speaker 7: Because the chef's coming in and they go, this is 355 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 7: the recipe and it's for eight hundred people, They're like, 356 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:24,920 Speaker 7: that doesn't translate. So what she does is she has 357 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 7: to rewrite for home. Now you're saying the exact opposite. 358 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,240 Speaker 7: When you're doing it on a one to one. People 359 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:34,159 Speaker 7: don't understand that. 360 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:38,080 Speaker 1: Mathematically and flavor wise, you don't just multiply. 361 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,680 Speaker 4: Right, You can't multiply. And and it's you know, it's 362 00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,359 Speaker 4: an experiment because I got one hundred pounds of beef 363 00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:45,959 Speaker 4: that I just paid for and this experiment goes wrong? 364 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:48,399 Speaker 4: What do I do with this meat that I've cooked 365 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:49,960 Speaker 4: for this he's a couple of. 366 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:57,200 Speaker 1: Hi, Neil, Yes, old buddy, what do you got old 367 00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:01,720 Speaker 1: garbage boil disposal? Neil at your servant? Yeah, but that's true. 368 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,080 Speaker 1: When you're using you know, you have to do it 369 00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:07,440 Speaker 1: like you would for a family meal, right, and then 370 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:08,680 Speaker 1: you have to decide. 371 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:11,960 Speaker 4: How that translates, Yeah, and how you scale that up 372 00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,240 Speaker 4: and when I have the time because my kitchen we 373 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:18,280 Speaker 4: have a commissary. They're from seven am to three pm 374 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:20,000 Speaker 4: every day, so I don't have much time to get 375 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,400 Speaker 4: in there to cook anything because everything's occupied. 376 00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:25,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's being used so only so much real estate. 377 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:29,359 Speaker 1: You know, you gotta have room for I don't know, cars, shoes, 378 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:37,560 Speaker 1: what do you collect? Natalie Pills I'm the only one 379 00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:43,879 Speaker 1: that lives in the real world. Boys are stupid. It's like, 380 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 1: I want cars, it says the guy would he was 381 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:48,679 Speaker 1: working on a full size R two D two in 382 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:53,119 Speaker 1: his grudge. I'm no better, but I still get the 383 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:57,080 Speaker 1: shaking head of my wife as well. Okay, so the 384 00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:00,959 Speaker 1: the tri tip is spectacular. I know there's ups and 385 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:04,239 Speaker 1: downs that come with all of this, But in the 386 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 1: fifteen years, coming this Wednesday for Gisathos, and again you've 387 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:15,159 Speaker 1: got to if you're not familiar with Gisathos, I have 388 00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:18,560 Speaker 1: never recommended it to someone and had them go, yeah, 389 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 1: that was good. It's always like holy hell. It's never 390 00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:26,160 Speaker 1: yeah I didn't know about that place. It was tasty. 391 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 1: If it's always, it's always the proper reaction. It's a 392 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 1: special place in that fifteen years. We'll start with you, senior. 393 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:43,160 Speaker 1: What's the biggest learning thing, the biggest thing that has 394 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,960 Speaker 1: stood out to you in this process of having so 395 00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:48,080 Speaker 1: many restaurants now. 396 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 4: Locally, Probably just watching people's reaction to food and they 397 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,879 Speaker 4: guess some sort of connection, whether it's to a memory 398 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,880 Speaker 4: or whether they they've never experienced this kind of food. 399 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:03,919 Speaker 4: Like the teacher own what the heck is the teacherer 400 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:09,159 Speaker 4: own that type of thing to hear people question like, 401 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,480 Speaker 4: what is this? Why is this? What makes us so good? 402 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:15,639 Speaker 4: I grew up eating it able to communicate with people 403 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:17,919 Speaker 4: and talk to them about my food and what we 404 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,520 Speaker 4: do and how I started and what this means and 405 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:24,560 Speaker 4: what we've grown and how we've developed a family and 406 00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:28,200 Speaker 4: employees and how I want my employees to be proud 407 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:31,199 Speaker 4: of what we do. And for the most part, some 408 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:33,520 Speaker 4: are there are you know, just a segment that really 409 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:37,639 Speaker 4: don't care. But for the most part, it's really I 410 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 4: don't know. Yeah, well, you're sharing your art, You're sharing 411 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,600 Speaker 4: a piece of yourself with this stuff. And I got 412 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:48,280 Speaker 4: to tell you, talking to many chefs and restaurant owners 413 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:54,879 Speaker 4: after the world opened back up after covid is, they 414 00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,520 Speaker 4: said it was just great to see people right to 415 00:22:57,640 --> 00:22:58,480 Speaker 4: react to your food. 416 00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 1: Right. You can't do that with delivery. 417 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:00,760 Speaker 4: You can't do that. 418 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:02,480 Speaker 1: But it'd be weird if you asked to if you 419 00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:05,480 Speaker 1: delivered everything and asked to come in. I fire, I'm 420 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:07,840 Speaker 1: the owner and chef, and I would like to come 421 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:09,400 Speaker 1: sit you watching watch you eat. 422 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,560 Speaker 4: I thought really hard enough to delivery, ask Armanda Junior. 423 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 4: He was pushing and pushed us to no, I'm not 424 00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 4: able to explain what the food is if they don't 425 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:20,600 Speaker 4: like it. I'll never know all these things. But it 426 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:21,960 Speaker 4: was It's a vital part of our business. 427 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:23,760 Speaker 1: You have to, yeah, Junior. 428 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:29,280 Speaker 3: I think for me it was really just understanding how 429 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:32,360 Speaker 3: to really challenge yourself because they don't teach you how 430 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:37,400 Speaker 3: to run a restaurant. You know, I always everything you could. Yeah, 431 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:39,399 Speaker 3: I think I could teach it now, you know, well 432 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:39,960 Speaker 3: you could. 433 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,960 Speaker 1: But do you think that that unless somebody has that 434 00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,560 Speaker 1: time in it, that you could just be academic about 435 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:45,879 Speaker 1: it now? 436 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 3: Because so many of the decisions that you make happen 437 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:50,679 Speaker 3: because of something that happened now and need to be 438 00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 3: solved now. And I think the learning curve of that 439 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,200 Speaker 3: can only be taught by hospitality. But what I enjoy 440 00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:57,879 Speaker 3: about it is it just kind of always keeps you 441 00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,520 Speaker 3: on the edge of your seat, and as a operator 442 00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:02,560 Speaker 3: of a business, it keeps you really in tune with 443 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:04,199 Speaker 3: what's going on with the city, what's going on with 444 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,960 Speaker 3: the people, what you know, what trends change, and what 445 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:08,959 Speaker 3: goes up and down. I love the study of that, 446 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 3: But I also think that this position, this industry really 447 00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 3: puts it in front of you all day. 448 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:15,960 Speaker 1: Every day. 449 00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:19,160 Speaker 3: You're dealing with people NonStop, which is a very challenging thing. 450 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:23,920 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, because some suck. Natalie, explain what you do 451 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 1: for the business and what you've learned in the time 452 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:29,960 Speaker 1: that you've been there, because you haven't been there since 453 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:33,160 Speaker 1: the beginning. I have, Oh you have, bring that mic 454 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:38,199 Speaker 1: to you, will you? There you go. I do a 455 00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:39,960 Speaker 1: little bit of everything in that business. 456 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:43,439 Speaker 5: There's I put out a lot of fires that they 457 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:46,600 Speaker 5: come up, and there's kind of nothing. There's no position 458 00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 5: in that business that I can't do that I haven't 459 00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 5: filled in for it's the best. And you know, as 460 00:24:53,560 --> 00:25:01,480 Speaker 5: we've expanded, the problems have expanded, and the fifteen years 461 00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:05,240 Speaker 5: has been a learning experience and there's always something to learn. 462 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:08,560 Speaker 5: And I've got my teachers right here. 463 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,320 Speaker 1: And sounds like all of you kind of have to 464 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:12,440 Speaker 1: learn from each other too. 465 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:12,720 Speaker 4: Yeah. 466 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,280 Speaker 5: I've also learned why they say don't do business with family. 467 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,320 Speaker 1: That's the biggest thing that. Yeah, but you know you 468 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:25,439 Speaker 1: said something and about the as things grow, so do 469 00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:30,560 Speaker 1: the problems. And you need you need a Swiss army 470 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:35,000 Speaker 1: knife like yourself. In any any good business needs somebody 471 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 1: who has a bird's eye view of all the pieces. 472 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:41,119 Speaker 1: That's that anybody can go to at any time and say, okay, 473 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:45,480 Speaker 1: this is going on. And the I understand from being 474 00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:48,320 Speaker 1: in those positions in management before. When you are somebody 475 00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:50,800 Speaker 1: puts out fires, the key is not only to put 476 00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:52,679 Speaker 1: out the fire, but it's so no one else sees 477 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,080 Speaker 1: the smoke, right, It's like, yeah, so you got to 478 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:58,480 Speaker 1: put them out before anybody else knows they started, especially 479 00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:02,520 Speaker 1: people coming in. So I very much appreciate those sentiments 480 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:06,040 Speaker 1: and understand them.

This is very much an authentic experience. 614 00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:14,360 Speaker 3: We try to make our kitchen serve things that we 615 00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:16,600 Speaker 3: grew up with. You know, of course it'd be fun 616 00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:18,960 Speaker 3: to get creative and make all of these different things. 617 00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:22,040 Speaker 3: But he saw this prides itself on the authentic home style. 618 00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:25,000 Speaker 4: I grew up with spam. That's why I look the 619 00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:25,320 Speaker 4: way I do. 620 00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:29,320 Speaker 1: You also grew up with host handsome. I'll take that 621 00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:33,640 Speaker 1: any day. I'll take that that spam. I just thought 622 00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:36,200 Speaker 1: it was fantastic. Yeah, and I thought it was an 623 00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:37,800 Speaker 1: interesting spin on. 624 00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:40,600 Speaker 4: The nitrates and the and the saltiness. 625 00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:42,720 Speaker 2: But as we grow, that's also one of the challenges. 626 00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:45,160 Speaker 3: Right, he comes up with something delicious and great, we 627 00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:47,200 Speaker 3: have to make sure our kitchen at all locations can 628 00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:48,800 Speaker 3: cook it correctly and make sure it gives that the 629 00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:50,840 Speaker 3: same experience, because the last thing you want is somebody 630 00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:53,920 Speaker 3: going to or Long Beach or Venice and saying like, oh, 631 00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:55,800 Speaker 3: it was good, but my spam wasn't toasted, or it 632 00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:58,160 Speaker 3: wasn't done right. And so the process of that becomes 633 00:33:58,240 --> 00:33:59,800 Speaker 3: strickled when you continue to grow. 634 00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:03,040 Speaker 1: I get it, so the authentic nature of it, but 635 00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:06,040 Speaker 1: you you realize the two of us could take you 636 00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:10,960 Speaker 1: guys like seriously, like it's not even a not even 637 00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:14,080 Speaker 1: a big deal.

There's none. There's none to this day. 648 00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:56,839 Speaker 1: It's one of the comfort things or a hot dog 649 00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:59,839 Speaker 1: in a tortilla.
