You get that everywhere these days.
But I think if you haven't tasted something at its best, at maximum level, then you're never going to...
shoot that high and get close to achieving that.
So I think that was the thing.
And I didn't know where that was taking me back then.
It was all a hodgepodge of the Germans and Austrians in Sweden, the travel, the produce in Italy, and the attention to detail on how they start the risotto, how they make the pasta by hand.
It was small things that were a whole mix of detail that didn't come together until years, years later when I worked in New York, actually, which then was a catalyst.
Okay, so let's fast forward.
So you ended up leaving Rome and going to New York.
No, it was years later.
Years later.
I was really busy in between.
Busy where?
Well, I backpacked.
After Italy, I stopped working for five months and backpacked to South America.
Back in London, yeah.
I was about 25.
I'd done lots of years of traveling, James, in and out, back to Sweden, Italy, South America, and then got to where I was done.
I'd had enough of living out of a bag.
I'd seen a lot of things.
