He's a better chef than I am, right? We're both chefs, but he's... Better foosball player. He is a better fucking foosball player. Super talented, militant about how he goes about things. I'm much more... I live in the margins, right? I tell these sort of stories. They don't necessarily... There's a perfection to the imperfection for me.
While he's more like a Swiss watch, he's been trained by the best chefs in the world. He's an incredible... I've taken a little bit from him and I think he's taken a little bit from me of how we go about making something. Um, and, and that's proven really, really, really special for us.
Um, and how the end result gets there, because I think without either one of us, it's a really different product. Um, but, but we approach it really differently. And I didn't, you know, if there's like a chef competition, like he wipes the floor with me.
I always say that it's really flattering when they come because they can call anybody, right? Like, there's no door that's not going to take Jay, right? So the fact that he came tonight means that he's, like, he's selected there. He's chosen to go there. So I think it's really flattering when we do get these sort of big celebrities and athletes.
And as far as taking care of them, I think the most important thing is making sure that you do everything you can as a restaurant, as a team, to protect their privacy. They're not there to be on display. You want to try to make an environment that's really nurturing for that and make sure that they're protected. The team knows that. Their anonymity is everything to me.
And I think if you do that, then they respect it, put out a good product, make something they want to come back for, and hopefully they'll be part of the regular.
I don't think we've ever thrown anybody out. I think we've definitely gotten in the way of photos. Hey, I'm sorry, but Mr. and Mrs. So-and-so is having dinner. Please respect that. I don't think we've ever thrown anybody out. Anybody that's banned? We have a few banned. Who's banned? I don't know who's banned. One of the only ways to get banned in this company... You think he's a rat?
One of the only ways to get banned in the company is to treat the staff poorly. So who treats them the worst?
No, Bezos is a good guy.
I had to do, I did the Today Show last week from a cruise ship.
that okay so you're not gonna give us any shit you're not gonna give us wait but why would someone get banned they're addicted if you're if you if you like treat the staff poorly you you know you cuss at them you get drunk you yell at them god forbid you put your hands on them like you got you got it you know you're you're never yeah you're never coming back and we have you know we have door guys and we have security around i mean the restaurants are too busy and too high profile to not um but so the fastest way to never come back here is to mistreat the staff
I mean, I'd like them to go out of the way because they, you know, that's their home too, right? Like you're disrespecting their home. This is where they make their money. This is their family too. The staff doesn't really turn over. They're really close as a, they're a really close knit group.
There's a certain amount of like, there's a cadence to how I want. And we do kind of put it in the book too. A cadence to how we talk to tables and how we take an order. There's a way that we do it. Like Ricky's voice is basically in this book as like how we take an order. Because they're captains. They're not there to take orders, right? They're there to guide your experience.
They're there to guide your experience.
first rap song i think was drake um i think the first one i think drake was the first one to do it i i think so and did that blow your mind like how do you find out about it that's a great question yeah people just started texting it to me um we didn't know it was happening of course and um it's crazy yeah it's crazy like i'll be working out in the gym and like some song will come on the mention carbone it's absolutely bananas did he hit you up before
No, no, no. No one's told me before. I mean, it's, it's been, it's happened a couple of times. It was just like the cover of someone's album. Someone that's on rock nation. Like they just took a, they just took an iPhone photo in front of Carbone and that was the cover of their album.
46?
Can it even go Lakers, or are they going to play each other before that?
Yeah. Yeah.
I think if you order something that has a specific in it, it's cooked to this temperature, I want it without pistachios, you know, I think. And it didn't happen that way. You order an expensive steak, you want it rare, and it comes out well done. Like, send that shit back. Like, that should be sent back. That was completely mismanaged.
