“As a young chef, for every hour you get paid, you need to be spending forty minutes on personal work, whether that’s an independent study or going to farms … with my younger cooks, I’ll barge into their apartment, say ‘Hey what’s going on guys, just stopped by to say hi.’ I’ll use the bathroom and see what they’re reading in there. A successful chef is reading food magazines in the middle of the night, not Penthouse!” — Chef and entrepreneur Michael Chiarello in a new interview. We hope he’s exaggerating a little for effect, otherwise that sounds a little creepy! [The New Potato via Eater]
