Besides living with them, you're coming in there and you're actually giving them what's going to either keep them healthy or just satiate them for the moment." "People don't eat herbs. They don't understand that herbs are natural MSGs. That's what I like to say. Put some parsley in it, it'll freshen it up." "If you're a good private chef, you're going to have daily gratification because your food goes to that table by your hand and no one can deliver your food better than you." "I think parents can be incredibly instrumental in the success of their children's marriages because they will know all the secrets of the downfalls of their kid and how the partner can balance those weaknesses and provide strength for them." "I feel like food is really the common thread that can unite us as a human race, as opposed to a particular race." "I want them to treat me like a human being, not like a machine, not like a servant. I want to be treated with respect. That's all I want." "I've learned to love myself and I think chefs need to learn to love themselves and not allow themselves to be abused." #theprivatechefpodcast #privatechef #chef #cheflife #podcast #newepisode  #diversity #exploration #culinarypassion
