Paul: I was actually born and raised in Scotland. I spent the first three years of my career working in the fine dining field for some of the best chefs in the world. And then just naturally as a chef who wants to broaden their horizons across the world, I was like “Okay, where can I go that is incredibly far away, where I can be exposed to ingredients that I've never seen before?”. I'm going to go to Sydney. Not a day goes by where I don't pinch myself to say that was one of two, most important decisions in my life. There I was exposed to these super talented, authentic chefs from Southeast Asia, Asia Pacific. And for me, it was just pretty much a nosedive right in. So I worked in restaurants from Japanese, Chinese, Southeast Asian, Thai. Spent time in Bangkok. Then to take a jump back over the pond to New York when Eddy and Jeff reached out - that was the second of the most important decisions I ever made.
Eddy: And Andrew, with his background in corporate finance keeps the train on the track. It's all well and good for us to have big ideas… but to make that into a business is a different story.
Andrew: Everyone brings their own life experiences and perspectives to the table. My father, Jeff, raised me and we share a lot of similar values, but I've taken a different path in life focusing on financial management. And now I've come back and bought my unique experiences and skills. I think everyone has that to contribute and I think that's what makes everyone special. That's a very important part of why our team works so well together.
