"I believe in recording the process and keeping track of things. We ask all of the cooks to carry around a moleskine and write down ideas. Then, when we have strategy meetings and we’re trying to decide certain things, people can say “remember when we talked about this?” These moments of inspiration, if not brought forth in that moment, at least have the opportunity to get that discussion in a way that is not making our guests be the guinea pigs."
