[Music]
[Applause]
that’s great thanks anyway so yeah the
Ted kids called and they said that
somehow they thought it was a good idea
to have a chef talk about chemistry and
I said no that’s stupid and then I
figured out that you know as life
presents your challenges to which you
must drive I could figure out a way to
yell at people about the personification
I’ve said chemistry but chemistry is in
everything that you do especially in
restaurants we’re dealing with a few
different kinds of chemistry’s we have
to deal with the chemistry in the
kitchen we have to deal with the
chemistry in the front of the house that
gives you the ambience or the whatever
it is that you’re looking for in a
restaurant the things that you do
demographic studies for and then you
have the ideas that are going on in the
back of the house that we’re gonna talk
about later but yeah the chemistry is
something that’s not just a stupid class
that you tried to sleep through in high
school wishing it was lunch it’s
something that is in everything the
chairs the people that are here
everything has an equation that strings
out of that tells you what it is that
you’re doing food is no different you
have does you know the salt in something
does it change the way that this works
and then about a billion different salts
and most of them Europe suck so you know
and how your water is going to change
things in the chemistry that the fruit
will have you know you can’t make
pineapple jello you won’t know why
because the enzyme in pineapple doesn’t
allow things to gel okay whatever so
yeah you have to know these things but
it’s the interesting chemistry that I
want to talk about the chemistry that we
have to deal with in the back of the
house because everybody in a restaurant
is insane generally retarded and does
all kinds of things that you’ve got no
idea anybody could ever possibly do or
why you have to deal with that and there
usually have pretty heavy drug habits as
well so you have to figure out who what
their cycle is it’s like having a
calendar for who does what in the
kitchen so you have to deal with all of
that but you have to deal with creating
the atmosphere and this is where I get
back to that it’s creating the
atmosphere that is the chemistry people
want to be in nobody wants to go to a
restaurant where they feel uncomfortable
nobody wants to go to a place where they
feel like they’re taking advantage of
or you just don’t want them there I’ve
been to plenty of restaurants in this
city where the people actually act like
why are you here I’m busy on my phone
you don’t want to be that restaurant
either you want to in my mind throw a
party all the time you should be
throwing a dinner party and when you
throw a dinner party you’re throwing
dinner parties I’m pretty sure you’ve
had them you think about the people you
invite to the dinner party we don’t have
that luxury in restaurants we can’t
think about oh should we invite these
people no we open the door and people
show up so we have to be the good host
and hope that people will come in and be
good guests think about when you go to a
restaurant next time you walk is
especially my restaurant think about
this before you walk in am I going to be
a good guest am I going to be somebody
that will create a good chemistry and
we’ll have a good time like if you have
to have your little yoga mantra and when
you walk through the door I won’t be an
asshole okay that’s fine that’s great do
what you got to do because it’s going to
affect the experience you have in my
restaurant and every other restaurant in
the world you come and you be the person
that you would want to invite to a party
okay the people that don’t get invited
to parties were people like the stupid
girl that says in the corner tries to
get people to buy her shoes no parties
for her the loudmouth asshole that tells
everybody what to think
nobody’s ever calling inviting me to
parties except for mark did once I won’t
do it again
you know or the person this is this get
ready for this one this is good the
person that comes near a party pretends
like they love everything and then sends
you a really nasty email later these are
the people that are gonna turn into food
bloggers when they don’t grow up they
figure out how to master the keyboard
and they could take a picture with their
phone so all of a sudden they’re an
expert on everything yet go fuck
yourself these are the people that
really never get invited anywhere but
you don’t want to be those people you
want to come and be the person who says
I’m going to have fun I want to be
entertained I want to be surprised I
even want to be educated I go I’ve been
cooking my entire life I’ve eaten pretty
much everything when I go to a
restaurant and I know they have a real
chef there’s a different chefs and cooks
to these guys that you see on TV no
they’re not chefs the people that you
meet that always tell you they’re chefs
they’re not they’re probably cooks
and they worked at McDonald’s for four
days and they like your tits something
they just I go to a restaurant and I say
hey I want to be surprised I know
there’s a real chef in the kitchen why
don’t you surprise me in something
whatever you think is great there’s only
a couple of things I don’t eat here they
are bringing everything else going to a
restaurant and looking at the menu and
saying I want this I didn’t want that
like this and then knowing that you want
to enjoy it is fantastic people that
think they’re special these are a
problem as well
I’m the vegan macrobiotic ketta diet
jackass No we’ll call you a taxi you can
go to somebody else’s restaurant I’m
sure they’ll be happy to deal with you
but this is the thing that I want to
talk about is chemistry and this is kind
of what I wanted to bring when they
called me he’s like how can I turn this
into something good so that’s the idea
that everything goes into it to make
your experience good at the end of the
night we deal with jackasses all the
time we deal with stupid people that are
really difficult and we’re not gonna
remember you if you’re not fun you’re
just gonna leave and we go move on but
if you are fun you come and you become a
regular you become something that people
are happy to have around your experience
is always going to be better this is the
chemistry that I’m always interested in
and this is the dinner party that I
think that people should think about
when they go be guests and restaurants
we have to think about it as your host
so why shouldn’t you have to think about
it as our guest it’s really all I had to
say and I’ll leave it at that
you
