"…to reflect the somewhat claustrophobic worldview of the professional cook – that slightly paranoid, fiercely territorial mix of pride and resignation that allows so many of us to get up eery morning and do that things we do… It was the last time they could behave like savages, go home feeling proud and tired at the same time. The last time they could fuck somebody in the linen closet and have it not mean anything too serious, or stay out all night and wake up on the floor. The last time they found themselves close to people from every corner of the world, of every race, proclivity, religion and background. The restaurant business is perhaps the last meritocracy–where what we do is all that matters."
