No chicken. We just have some like good 93 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 1: like roasted chicken where it's good. Pigeon's actually amazing and 94 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 1: street birds yeah, not pigeons. Why do you come up 95 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,479 Speaker 1: with that name? The street is you know, the whole 96 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,480 Speaker 1: thing is inspired really by old school graffiti and hip 97 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 1: hop culture, so it's a little bit street and then Bird, 98 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:38,480 Speaker 1: you know, I love bird, you know, so we are 99 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 1: like you know, from rundem Sea to NASA. I just 100 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:44,840 Speaker 1: picked that era between sort of like early eighties to 101 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 1: early nineties of hip hop. That that's there that I 102 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 1: love about hip hop music. And then graffiti is the 103 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 1: same way. You feel like people's eating habits are changing 104 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:56,280 Speaker 1: a lot. Yeah, definitely, definitely, and and more people are 105 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,040 Speaker 1: want to eat delicious and yummy of course, but it 106 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 1: will also tell theater. You know, you do you hire 107 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 1: your only family members because you have eighteen brothers and sisters, 108 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 1: so you could just hire your family. I do hire locally, though, 109 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 1: I do absolutely. You know, half of my you know, 110 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 1: about eighty percent of my staff comes from Harlem. And 111 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 1: that's the good thing really with things like Ruster and Sylvia, 112 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 1: as the restaurants are in the community and create jobs 113 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 1: for us. You can't really outsource a restaurant job, you know. 114 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 1: So with all the restaurants coming up and you know, 115 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 1: opening in Harlem, that means it's more jobs created. It's 116 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 1: really hard to keep a restaurant in business, though. I 117 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 1: think there what was the statistics of restaurants that open 118 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,840 Speaker 1: and the percentage of them to close? Yeah, I mean, 119 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 1: like I don't know any business America that is easy 120 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 1: a restaurant business. Yeah, it's hard, but you know, I've 121 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,479 Speaker 1: been very fortunate. I've had my place for many, many years. 122 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 1: And unless this guy stops, I want to stay in business. 123 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 1: I just want to shut a brother down, like exactly. 124 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 1: Oh you know, I meant to perform. Yeah, I've seen 125 00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:00,360 Speaker 1: you somewhere. You got maybe on TV. Real tall wife. Yeah, 126 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 1: she's way taller than you. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, 127 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,480 Speaker 1: not that he's a famous Cheff, but I was with 128 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 1: this chaff. The fact that he's a fam I was 129 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 1: with this chick who was taller than me. Was it 130 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 1: your wife? No, it wasn't. Actually it was years ago, 131 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 1: and she thought that we was gonna have a future together. 132 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 1: So she was giving them as an example of us 133 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 1: being together because he's short and she's mad tall and 134 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 1: your short. What just happened? I just thought about it. 135 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 1: I'm like, say, bring Cheff in the corner, come up. 136 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 1: There's nothing to do with them. Eat up festival, Eat 137 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 1: up Ethiopia. I was born in Ethiopia, grew up in Sweden. 138 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 1: That's I mean, it's the irony because you know the 139 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 1: stereotype of Ethiopia. Yeah, the kids over there starving. I 140 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 1: mean of course some of them are. Yea, a lot 141 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 1: of them are. But I would this guy, I would say, 142 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 1: you know, honestly, after they showed here in America, it 143 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 1: is right right, but it's you know, Ethiopia is completely different, 144 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 1: just like just like in America. We have a lot 145 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 1: of web About ten million kids every day in America 146 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 1: go to bed hungry. So you know, yes, it's it 147 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 1: was really bad in Ethiopia, but it's you know, it's 148 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 1: tough here too. That's one of the reasons you wanted 149 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 1: to get into like cooking. Yeah, absolutely, I mean to 150 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 1: make it different, you know, I really I love that, 151 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 1: I answer.
