We've 215 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 2: all heard of Carbone. I love the fact that you 216 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,600 Speaker 2: as an entrepreneur. Some people might think as a chef 217 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 2: that this is something that was like a restaurant that 218 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 2: was passed down from generation to generation, but this is 219 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,680 Speaker 2: something that you really built from the ground up, from scratch, 220 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 2: and you were kind of letting this direction without knowing 221 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 2: what did you think young Mario Carbone would be doing. 222 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:20,840 Speaker 1: I thought I was going to play for the New 223 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 1: York Mets, all right. At around eight or nine, I 224 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 1: realized that was probably out of the cards. And I 225 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 1: think the next thing I knew I had love for 226 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 1: was food. I didn't know what that meant yet, but 227 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 1: I knew I had love for it. So I took 228 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,559 Speaker 1: that and I started, you know, odd jobs in the 229 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 1: kitchen with my grandparents as a little baby, like cleaning 230 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,719 Speaker 1: peas and doing things like that. And I parlayd that 231 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,559 Speaker 1: into working like after high school, Like after school in 232 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:50,319 Speaker 1: high school, local restaurants on weekends just to make a 233 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,959 Speaker 1: little bit of money. And I found love for like 234 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,880 Speaker 1: the professional commercial restaurant. And I didn't love school, Like 235 00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:00,600 Speaker 1: traditional school just wasn't for me. So I was heading 236 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 1: towards graduation with high school. I decided, you know what, 237 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 1: I'd rather take a chance on this unknown thing that 238 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:08,719 Speaker 1: I have a lot of passion for and I don't 239 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:09,679 Speaker 1: know where it's going to take me. 240 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:13,079 Speaker 2: Mario Carbone, the owner of Carbone, is here. When you 241 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 2: talked about the add job that you had working in restaurants, 242 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 2: I know you worked at like a crab shack, yeah, 243 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 2: and seafood restaurants and things like that. Were you at 244 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:25,440 Speaker 2: all ever like cooking the food or just pre prepping 245 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:27,719 Speaker 2: or sweeping up? Like what were those add jobs? It 246 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:29,560 Speaker 2: took a while till they let me cook anything. 247 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 1: I was probably fourteen fifteen sixteen when I started working 248 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 1: in kitchens in the neighborhood. And the first few jobs 249 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,640 Speaker 1: are like the introduction to the salad station, or I 250 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 1: worked on a raw bar. I had no idea how 251 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 1: to do that, really small tasks, a lot of prep work, 252 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 1: learning how to use a knife, really, you know, the. 253 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,440 Speaker 2: First time, but This is all a great education though 254 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,079 Speaker 2: without you even realizing it, because I think when running 255 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 2: a business, even knowing how to do all the things 256 00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 2: that it takes is important because some people invest in 257 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,880 Speaker 2: businesses or open a business and they don't know all 258 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 2: the ins and outs of it. So how can you 259 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:07,480 Speaker 2: train staff to do things that you don't know how 260 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 2: to do? 261 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 1: How can you ask them want to do something that 262 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 1: you don't know how to do yourself? 263 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,839 Speaker 2: Right? All right? So then you did, however, after school 264 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:13,839 Speaker 2: go to culinary school? 265 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 1: Did? 266 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,719 Speaker 2: Okay? And what made you think that that was the 267 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:21,079 Speaker 2: next move to do because you already didn't like traditional schooling. 268 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 1: To be honest with you, back then, I think it 269 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 1: was really that there was a degree involved, so that 270 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 1: felt like there was a level of legitimacy there. Okay, 271 00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,559 Speaker 1: but I don't think that's necessary. I think that you 272 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 1: can go to the University of choose your great restaurant, 273 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 1: knock on the back door, tell them I'll start at 274 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 1: the bottom and I'll work my way through in lieu 275 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:43,079 Speaker 1: of going to a major school. 276 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,679 Speaker 2: All Right, we got Mario Carbone. Call us up if 277 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:47,760 Speaker 2: you want to get a reservation. I'm just kidding.

So the first year, when the 319 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,760 Speaker 1: Formula One race was coming to Miami, we sort of decided, well, 320 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:50,080 Speaker 1: this is going to be the biggest week of the 321 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 1: year in Miami, we need to do more than what 322 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 1: we're doing. So we had this plan to build this 323 00:14:56,360 --> 00:15:00,200 Speaker 1: giant structure on the actual sand of Aami beach, and 324 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 1: we wanted to do a over the top sort of extravaganza. 325 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,760 Speaker 1: But Dinner and a Show turned way up where there's 326 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:12,680 Speaker 1: giant ice sculptures full of like you know, seafood delights 327 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 1: and caviar stations, and there's musical performances happening everywhere.

I also want to talk about Michelin Stars, because 334 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,080 Speaker 2: Carbone did get a Michelin Star. I think it was 335 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:39,200 Speaker 2: in twenty thirteen. 336 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 1: Twenty thirteen, we got a Michelin Star. Two years ago 337 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,400 Speaker 1: they took it away. I could go down a rabbit 338 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 1: hole with you on Michelin.
