And yeah, there's sometimes I'm just done with shit. This was like before the internet was popping. So like this is when you went to bookstores to research shit. So like I was at bookstores all day just researching, you know, I knew what it meant to cook food, but I really didn't know what it meant to be a chef. And I enrolled in night school here in L.A.

At this point, I had spent the next year and a half basically working, selling mutual funds, which is basically a used car salesman selling mutuals. Packaged securities. Packaged securities.

And I was really good. I had no idea what I was doing. Okay. But I was like at the racetrack, I would close my eyes and I would pick one and it would fucking hit. It's kind of like gambling 2.0. It's like gambling 2.0. And I made a bunch of money. I paid everyone back. I mended all my bridges as much as I could. I went off to culinary school. You kind of got even. I kind of got even.

I'm really big on like, I like to tidy shit up spiritually and also physically. Like the whole philosophy of when we started Kogi, I wanted to be like a graffiti artist where no one would even know we were there other than the fact that they could see what we just did. Because we would crush it here on the streets, like 2000 people just flash mobbing on the streets.

But I would always say like when we leave here, it has to be as if we were never here. And it's just a big thing for me to like tidy things up like that.
