"I think it's actually in the off-season where you can build real relationships and also thrive that creative part." "I think if you go to Europe as a chef, you either go for experience or lifestyle, never really for the money, unless maybe Switzerland." "You have to take responsibility and just use the five second rule." "So I always recommend the chefs that come work for me or other chefs that I talk to, to try to do new things, new menus, travel, obviously travel, get inspired, but just step out of your comfort zone and you can take some risks, you know, you can do this." #theprivatechefpodcast #privatechefs #personalchefs #culinaryjourney #cheflife #newepisode #podcast
