pressure has not spoiled the pleasure for this highly touted young chef. “It’s still fun. I’m still on every night. It’s still a challenge. It’s just getting harder to find the time to celebrate! The excitement just has to fuse into the day-to-day activity around here.”

Years back, when I was too busy for a fitting, I’d send our receptionist over to Skippy’s (the Washington Cash Store) for a pair of blacktops or whatever they had in size 11. Then tennis shoes were $8 a pair. Now, they’re $60.” He laughed some more. “When people say dinner is expensive, I say, ‘My God, look at the price of tennis shoes.’ It’s a matter of priorities: You can have dinner at The Inn — or a pair of new Air Jordans!”
