that much freaking trauma

1719
01:21:16,138 --> 01:21:18,083
behind it, you know,
I can't even imagine

1720
01:21:18,107 --> 01:21:19,418
having to go through that again.

1722
01:21:23,646 --> 01:21:26,859
I've been brought to tears
by the men and women

1723
01:21:26,883 --> 01:21:29,127
that run our back of the house

1724
01:21:29,151 --> 01:21:32,531
who have been unwavering.

1725
01:21:32,555 --> 01:21:34,967
I went out and bought a flag
that said

1726
01:21:34,991 --> 01:21:36,969
and it's a military
expression that says,

1727
01:21:36,993 --> 01:21:38,704
"don't give up the ship"

1728
01:21:38,728 --> 01:21:41,173
to pass to every single
one of our leaders.

1729
01:21:41,197 --> 01:21:42,841
They get the flag for 48 hours

1730
01:21:42,865 --> 01:21:45,077
and then they pass it on
to the next leader.

1731
01:21:45,101 --> 01:21:46,712
So we didn't give up our ships.
Right?

1732
01:21:46,736 --> 01:21:49,948
We didn't throw in the towel.
We didn't close the doors.

1733
01:21:49,972 --> 01:21:52,150
We just keep moving like
one foot in front of the other.

1734
01:21:52,174 --> 01:21:54,519
And I think everyone feels
really, like, happy

1735
01:21:54,543 --> 01:21:56,722
and proud of that.

1737
01:22:00,116 --> 01:22:02,961
We were just caught
in a moment of time

1738
01:22:02,985 --> 01:22:06,331
that you had to either...

1739
01:22:06,355 --> 01:22:10,602
stay and fight

1740
01:22:10,626 --> 01:22:14,339
or let the situation
take you over.

1741
01:22:14,363 --> 01:22:18,310
And the beautiful thing
in a very dark time

1742
01:22:18,334 --> 01:22:21,713
was that those four chefs

1743
01:22:21,737 --> 01:22:24,182
decided to fight.

1744
01:22:24,206 --> 01:22:26,952
After a while,
some of this doesn't get paid

1745
01:22:26,976 --> 01:22:28,253
off with blood, sweat,
and tears.

1746
01:22:28,277 --> 01:22:29,888
There's no more blood,
there's no more sweat,

1747
01:22:29,912 --> 01:22:32,124
and there's no more tears.

1748
01:22:32,148 --> 01:22:34,927
But do you want to talk
about a tough group of people

with never say die attitude,
