If you're Thomas Keller or Jose Andre,
you can give them the same five ingredients you give me, you're gonna get two totally different dishes.
Like, can you give them a pile of horse shit and say you want chicken parmesan?
You're not gonna get it.
Best chef in the world, not gonna happen.
But if you give them the same five ingredients and me the same five ingredients, they're gonna make something beautiful out of that.
So I think we all know you can take
the same ingredients and with a different level of care and how you handle them and different tools, you can make something different.
And so when someone says like, well, people have fallen out of love or they've disconnected, do you think they can come back?
Of course.
By the way, at some point, these ingredients made a beautiful dish.
So beautiful that you said, I'm going to eat just this for the rest of my life.
This is my favorite food.
And you're asking me what the ingredients that made my favorite food.
Can it make my favorite food again?
Yeah, yeah, it can.
Like, yeah, it definitely can.
It's actually weirder that the same ingredients that made my favorite dish...
Now I can't stand how it tastes.
I would go, did you add something you shouldn't have?
