EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS
5:52 Yes, the New York dining scene is extremely competitive. However when we talk about fine dining and the chefs that are really changing the game and leading the way, it is tremendously supportive and wonderful. I have been very lucky to have the support of incredible chefs.
13:59 At the beginning of my career, when I go back to the interviews I did, I used to say that there were no issues related to being a woman in my industry. But as my career progressed, it became distinctively harder because I am a woman.
40:00 For me, to be the daughter of immigrants, to be in New York, an Asian woman cooking French cuisine, this is the most American thing that could happen to me.
