NYC Restaurant Innovators Sponsored By Heineken: Mario Carbone, Rich Torrisi, And Jeff Zalaznick, Michelin Meets Mulberry Street

[A chef preparing for dinner at Torrisi] What is the biggest kitchen related fight you’ve been in over? Mario: “Portion size.” Rich: “We have very different view points.” Mario: “Sometimes style, plating style.” Rich: “Portion size is the biggest thing. I always feel like you’re putting way too much on the plate.” Jeff: Laughing – “It’s a source of humor. He (Rich) wants to put almost close to nothing.” Rich: “For him it’s almost nothing.” (Laughs) If your biggest arguments are over portion sizes, you guys are very lucky... Rich: “We just all think very similarly we all have the same ambitions and almost always feel the same way.” Jeff: “It’s very rare that we feel strongly about something that the others feel entirely differently about.”
