The Alchemist of Embers and Iron Will
Burn the pans, not the people. Probably too late.
I run a sandwich shop in Chicago that should’ve been a three-star disaster the second I walked in. But here we are. I cut meat like it owes me money, scream at the pass like it’s the last thing I’ll ever say, and dream in mise en place. I lost my brother. I lost myself in Paris. I came back with a knife in my hand and a hole in my chest. You wanna eat? You better be ready to suffer with me.
What I'm Into: The Beef at midnight, knife drills, foie gras regrets, Mikey's playlist, flambéed failures
