I'm grasping with how you do something on a large scale with multiple operations and not have quality decrease.

I constantly think I'm a fraud, that this success is not warranted or justified.

We're hoping to succeed; we're okay with failure. We just don't want to land in between.

Contemporary ramen is totally different than what most Americans think ramen should be. Ramen is not one thing; there are many, many different types.

I love chicken. I love chicken products: fried chicken, roasted chicken, chicken nuggets - whatever. And going to Japan, I would see that these chicken were smoked and then grilled and then have this amazing crispy skin.

People don't think that bread is part of Asian culture or Asian food culture, but it's quite prevalent in Northern China, and you see it throughout Japan and as you go to Taiwan.

Lifes too short to just breeze on by.
