I think the thing that I absolutely love about running the restaurant, not eating it, but running the restaurant, is the tangible reaction from people. And you also kind of know when you screwed it up. Mm-hmm. And you also know when you got it right. So even, it's kind of a weird way to say this, but even if the customer's unhappy, you know whether you got it right or wrong.

It's not just about the food you're making, but it's about the person's psychological state. And you'll even, you'll do something that you're like, you know that that was not well. And their psychological state is, they're just in a very happy place and they love it. And you're like, huh. You know, like that's not how I would have reacted to that dish.

And then the other way around, you'd like, no, I got that right. And that person's just like really unhappy today.

Yeah, you can tell. And you mentioned being at the bar. One of the most gifted bartenders really understand that. You know, it goes beyond, but what's also great about a restaurant, it goes beyond the one-time experience that you walk in and have that experience, is the good bartenders, they remember you. Oh, you were in a few months ago, and this is kind of your thing.

You might need a little time. Mm-hmm. And other people will come in, they want a conversation. Yeah. Or other people come in and they're going through a divorce and they just want to be sad for a moment, have a scotch. Yeah. And it's like, it's amazing what you learn in the restaurant world to just be... connected to humanity.

The table is when you connect with people, learn about each other. Bars, you can sometimes do that. You can talk left and right, but you have the freedom to always break free. You can say, okay, great, I'm going to go back to my meal. It's kind of like a friend you can turn on and off at any time because the bartender knows that. They're trained. If you want attention, I'm going to give it to you.

If you don't, I'm going to stay away. If you want to be chatty, I'm going to be chatty. If you want to be completely in your head, I'll leave you in your head.

And you can reach out. You can add some conversation or you can choose not to. And you can exit quickly.
