You Know How Arrogant The French Are

One Thing I Can't Afford To Get Sucked Up In Is The Trend Formation Of Restaurants Here. I've Invested Heavily. We Have A Ten-year Lease. More Importantly, The Style, The Feel And The Décor Of The Dining Room Is Vibrant.

The Level Of Jealousy And Insecurity In This Industry [restaurant] Is Far Greater Than Ever Before.

Stay With What's Happening Locally. It's Really Important.
