Obviously, the name of the restaurant is very, very important. I have a little love for the French language. I love the way that certain words have certain kinds of emotions connected to them, a little different than how it’s said in English. I just feel that the French element is very much a part of my career and my grounding and my upbringing.” Oops! We’re unable to load this content right now.
