And I don't wanna sound like a real old person or old boomer or whatever the fuck they say, but again. voice-verified

When we were first I remember Carbone and I and like Torisi and Tinho like all of us at Cafe Blue, we'd go down to the Low East Side and we'd go to Wiley DuFrance restaurant and we'd look at his menu and we'd be like voice-verified

Uh what the fuck is fried man? voice-verified

What what is is like a sixty degree there are all these dishes and I was like voice-verified

It was literally like a kung fu journey of the process being like that is the reward. voice-verified

And today there's rhyming shops everywhere. voice-verified

But has there really been any development in Roman innovation? voice-verified
