Quotes

  • "Chefs are salesmen because they always want to sell you what they're making. No matter what it is, it doesn't matter who. It could be leadership. It could be a customer." -Barb Colucci [19:31]

  • “I mentor a lot of kids in high schools. They always ask me, why are you still in this business so long? And I go, because I wake up every day and I think about food. I love what I do. There are hard days. There are difficult days, but then there are really great days. This is why I'm in this business.” -Barb Colucci [22:28]
