0:01:29.880 --> 0:01:33.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm up. So I brought I

0:01:33.760 --> 0:01:38.880
<v Speaker 1>brought the wrong meal. The club was rude to the producer. Wow,

0:01:39.080 --> 0:01:41.240
<v Speaker 1>this is a tough morning talk about to meet your

0:01:41.240 --> 0:01:46.039
<v Speaker 1>gay president Obama. It was a good state, not meet me. Yeah,

0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:47.760
<v Speaker 1>it was a good meal. We're growing. It was a

0:01:47.800 --> 0:01:50.720
<v Speaker 1>good meal. But you know, just my luck I cooked

0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:53.120
<v Speaker 1>the meal where there was all the controversies, like you know,

0:01:53.160 --> 0:01:56.000
<v Speaker 1>when the lady crashed the party, that was my meal.

0:01:56.080 --> 0:01:58.600
<v Speaker 1>That's yeah, that's my luck. I get the chance to

0:01:58.600 --> 0:01:59.960
<v Speaker 1>do it, and I have to do it that time,

0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:02.280
<v Speaker 1>so nobody wanted to eat when no, it was good,

0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:05.240
<v Speaker 1>good dinner was good. I cooked a good cooked the

0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:08.360
<v Speaker 1>Indian meal, a lot of vegetables, and we used to

0:02:09.080 --> 0:02:11.160
<v Speaker 1>missus Obama's vegetable garden. It was good. It was a

0:02:11.160 --> 0:02:13.600
<v Speaker 1>good meal. I thought it was steak though, state dinner,

0:02:14.480 --> 0:02:24.960
<v Speaker 1>State state stay. I thought you thought about prime wrong.

0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:27.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, when did the steak become an Indian meal?

0:02:27.240 --> 0:02:30.520
<v Speaker 1>I thought it was I thought it was screamed heat,

0:02:31.200 --> 0:02:36.320
<v Speaker 1>stay united. Got you eat Indian food all the time?

0:02:37.320 --> 0:02:39.280
<v Speaker 1>I did, you know what. You're not wrong though, because

0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:42.480
<v Speaker 1>when the President came to Red Rooster, I did cooking steak,

0:02:43.360 --> 0:02:46.280
<v Speaker 1>so maybe you were there made I just actually thought

0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:48.320
<v Speaker 1>he said steak dinner. No, it was I cooked from

0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:49.560
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of times when when he came up to

0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:52.280
<v Speaker 1>the restaurant, I did cooking steaks. Steaking behind you when

0:02:52.280 --> 0:02:53.920
<v Speaker 1>you when you cook those secret starts, watch over you

0:02:53.919 --> 0:02:55.560
<v Speaker 1>make sure you don't put on the recording and stuff.

0:02:55.600 --> 0:02:57.680
<v Speaker 1>They're with me right now. Actually they're right here in

0:02:57.680 --> 0:03:00.320
<v Speaker 1>the state. No, but it's a it's a lot of

0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:02.120
<v Speaker 1>things that you got to go through, and you know,

0:03:02.200 --> 0:03:03.960
<v Speaker 1>of course you're cooking for the man. It's it's it's

0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:06.080
<v Speaker 1>a big deal. I was nervous. I tell you, I

0:03:06.120 --> 0:03:08.800
<v Speaker 1>was more nervous when he came to the restaurant because

0:03:08.840 --> 0:03:10.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's it's it's you just don't want anything

0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:13.200
<v Speaker 1>to go wrong. You try it first to make sure

0:03:13.240 --> 0:03:17.079
<v Speaker 1>it's not poison. Yeah, a lot of a lot of tasters.

0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:18.560
<v Speaker 1>That should be a good job for you to be

0:03:18.560 --> 0:03:23.440
<v Speaker 1>like a professional taster. Nobody said he just called he

0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:31.480
<v Speaker 1>just cuts you fat. Chef, chef, chef, now you want

0:03:31.560 --> 0:03:35.280
<v Speaker 1>just to taste she chef. That's horrible. I'd be hearing

0:03:35.320 --> 0:03:40.320
<v Speaker 1>things that you can see I clearly can't hear. Are

0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:12.960
<v Speaker 1>bringing thousands of thousand people uptown to just you know,

0:04:13.000 --> 0:04:16.040

0:04:16.360 --> 0:04:17.920
<v Speaker 1>just showing that we can do it too. I love

0:04:17.960 --> 0:04:23.560
<v Speaker 1>Hallom restaurants right, love Sylvia's Amy Roofs Red Rooster. I

0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:32.000
<v Speaker 1>don't really really oh my fault, but I like it.

0:04:32.800 --> 0:04:40.200
<v Speaker 1>It's the seafood restaurantood restaurant. That boy, that's about to

0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:43.159
<v Speaker 1>get you fat scrimps, and you have to come up

0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:45.680
<v Speaker 1>to a new one. The street Bird restaurants all based

0:04:45.680 --> 0:04:48.040
<v Speaker 1>on hip hop and graffiti, like rotisserie chicken places. We

0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:51.240
<v Speaker 1>just opened it, you know, easy takeout and you know

0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:53.880
<v Speaker 1>it's really cool. Can you sit down and have drinks there?

0:04:54.680 --> 0:04:56.520
<v Speaker 1>Take out? Okay? Both you can? You have a fifty

0:04:56.560 --> 0:04:58.720
<v Speaker 1>seats and then you can go, you know, deliver to you.

0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:01.320
<v Speaker 1>Is funny to come there too. Yeah, we don't also

0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:03.440
<v Speaker 1>come to the comedy shows there all kinds of music,

0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:06.120
<v Speaker 1>all kinds of stuff. Always a good DJs. And I

0:05:06.200 --> 0:05:07.880
<v Speaker 1>think you guys like if you don't like, I think

0:05:07.920 --> 0:05:09.800
<v Speaker 1>you like street bird screetbirds, and like yellow and the

0:05:09.920 --> 0:05:17.400
<v Speaker 1>cooking pigeons. No chicken. We just have some like good

0:05:17.520 --> 0:05:22.520
<v Speaker 1>like roasted chicken where it's good. Pigeon's actually amazing and

0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:29.000
<v Speaker 1>street birds yeah, not pigeons. Why do you come up

0:05:29.040 --> 0:05:31.479
<v Speaker 1>with that name? The street is you know, the whole

0:05:31.600 --> 0:05:34.480
<v Speaker 1>thing is inspired really by old school graffiti and hip

0:05:34.480 --> 0:05:36.680
<v Speaker 1>hop culture, so it's a little bit street and then Bird,

0:05:36.760 --> 0:05:38.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, I love bird, you know, so we are

0:05:38.520 --> 0:05:42.520
<v Speaker 1>like you know, from rundem Sea to NASA. I just

0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:44.840
<v Speaker 1>picked that era between sort of like early eighties to

0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:47.560
<v Speaker 1>early nineties of hip hop. That that's there that I

0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:49.960
<v Speaker 1>love about hip hop music. And then graffiti is the

0:05:50.040 --> 0:05:52.320
<v Speaker 1>same way. You feel like people's eating habits are changing

0:05:52.360 --> 0:05:56.280
<v Speaker 1>a lot. Yeah, definitely, definitely, and and more people are

0:05:56.600 --> 0:05:59.040
<v Speaker 1>want to eat delicious and yummy of course, but it

0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:02.360
<v Speaker 1>will also tell theater. You know, you do you hire

0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:04.640
<v Speaker 1>your only family members because you have eighteen brothers and sisters,

0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:08.760
<v Speaker 1>so you could just hire your family. I do hire locally, though,

0:06:08.800 --> 0:06:11.680
<v Speaker 1>I do absolutely. You know, half of my you know,

0:06:11.720 --> 0:06:13.920
<v Speaker 1>about eighty percent of my staff comes from Harlem. And

0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:17.200
<v Speaker 1>that's the good thing really with things like Ruster and Sylvia,

0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:19.880
<v Speaker 1>as the restaurants are in the community and create jobs

0:06:19.880 --> 0:06:22.880
<v Speaker 1>for us. You can't really outsource a restaurant job, you know.

0:06:23.040 --> 0:06:25.000
<v Speaker 1>So with all the restaurants coming up and you know,

0:06:25.440 --> 0:06:27.920
<v Speaker 1>opening in Harlem, that means it's more jobs created. It's

0:06:27.960 --> 0:06:29.680
<v Speaker 1>really hard to keep a restaurant in business, though. I

0:06:29.760 --> 0:06:32.320
<v Speaker 1>think there what was the statistics of restaurants that open

0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:34.840
<v Speaker 1>and the percentage of them to close? Yeah, I mean,

0:06:35.160 --> 0:06:37.320
<v Speaker 1>like I don't know any business America that is easy

0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:39.240
<v Speaker 1>a restaurant business. Yeah, it's hard, but you know, I've

0:06:39.279 --> 0:06:41.479
<v Speaker 1>been very fortunate. I've had my place for many, many years.

0:06:41.560 --> 0:06:48.560
<v Speaker 1>And unless this guy stops, I want to stay in business.

0:06:48.600 --> 0:06:53.880
<v Speaker 1>I just want to shut a brother down, like exactly.

0:06:53.960 --> 0:06:56.800
<v Speaker 1>Oh you know, I meant to perform. Yeah, I've seen

0:06:56.839 --> 0:07:00.360
<v Speaker 1>you somewhere. You got maybe on TV. Real tall wife. Yeah,

0:07:00.400 --> 0:07:04.440
<v Speaker 1>she's way taller than you. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you know,

0:07:04.800 --> 0:07:06.480
<v Speaker 1>not that he's a famous Cheff, but I was with

0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:08.640
<v Speaker 1>this chaff. The fact that he's a fam I was

0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:10.520
<v Speaker 1>with this chick who was taller than me. Was it

0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:12.920
<v Speaker 1>your wife? No, it wasn't. Actually it was years ago,

0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:14.800
<v Speaker 1>and she thought that we was gonna have a future together.

0:07:15.160 --> 0:07:17.440
<v Speaker 1>So she was giving them as an example of us

0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:20.280
<v Speaker 1>being together because he's short and she's mad tall and

0:07:20.400 --> 0:07:25.440
<v Speaker 1>your short. What just happened? I just thought about it.

0:07:25.520 --> 0:07:28.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, say, bring Cheff in the corner, come up.

0:07:30.240 --> 0:07:33.920
<v Speaker 1>There's nothing to do with them. Eat up festival, Eat

0:07:34.040 --> 0:07:38.680
<v Speaker 1>up Ethiopia. I was born in Ethiopia, grew up in Sweden.

0:07:38.840 --> 0:07:40.400
<v Speaker 1>That's I mean, it's the irony because you know the

0:07:40.440 --> 0:07:43.200
<v Speaker 1>stereotype of Ethiopia. Yeah, the kids over there starving. I

0:07:43.240 --> 0:07:44.840
<v Speaker 1>mean of course some of them are. Yea, a lot

0:07:44.880 --> 0:07:48.480
<v Speaker 1>of them are. But I would this guy, I would say,

0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:50.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, honestly, after they showed here in America, it

0:07:51.000 --> 0:07:54.000
<v Speaker 1>is right right, but it's you know, Ethiopia is completely different,

0:07:54.200 --> 0:07:56.280
<v Speaker 1>just like just like in America. We have a lot

0:07:56.320 --> 0:07:58.760
<v Speaker 1>of web About ten million kids every day in America

0:07:58.840 --> 0:08:01.520
<v Speaker 1>go to bed hungry. So you know, yes, it's it

0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:03.520
<v Speaker 1>was really bad in Ethiopia, but it's you know, it's

0:08:03.560 --> 0:08:05.280
<v Speaker 1>tough here too. That's one of the reasons you wanted

0:08:05.280 --> 0:08:08.320
<v Speaker 1>to get into like cooking. Yeah, absolutely, I mean to

0:08:08.480 --> 0:08:11.680
<v Speaker 1>make it different, you know, I really I love that,

0:08:11.760 --> 0:08:17.760
<v Speaker 1>I answer. He just laughs, where are you you? No,

0:08:18.320 --> 0:08:20.960
