Five courses with Guy Grossi
- Create amazing menus. “I've taken my childhood memories - all the flavours from youth - and I've juxtaposed that
with classical training and modern techniques.”
- Persistence pays. “If you think you're working hard, you're not. Keep working harder.”
- Wow your patrons. “Exceed their expectations but get them back. It's very important that they walk out being
blown away.”
- Broaden your horizons. “Visit other restaurants, read books, look, see, touch, feel, taste.”
- Make every moment count. “Respect your body, yourself and respect others.”
