Ever wonder what it's really like to live as a cook in NYC? Well, today we take you into a part of my own story with my good friend, and former cooking mate, Justin Lee. We take a little break from the usual conversation format that we have and just shoot the shit with our old friend and reminisce about how it was like cooking and living the life in NYC. This was our reality as we saw it in our little bubble of restaurants that we worked in, with 1 ultimate goal in mind and that was to open our own restaurant. I was lucky enough to finally realize my dream, and Justin is just starting to realize that dream with his new project, Fat Choy, but our raw conversation of all the inequities and dysfunctional behavior of choosing this profession in the hardest city in the world is a conversation ALL aspiring chefs and cooks should pay attention to. It's not just about the love of food and cooking. You'll learn that you've got to love the life you have to live in order to make it out alive in this industry. ENJOY THE SHOW!
