You have to work on the things youre not good at. [15:00] Cooking is like the stock exchange - you multitask, hear something being barked in your ear, continue to work and remember what was yelled in your ear - its a skill set school never fully teaches you. [22:00] If you dont empower your staff to be creative - youre doing a disservice to them. Thats what spurs them and makes them better chefs. [45:00] --Chef Dale Talde on Chefs Story
