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.

1721

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

1749

with never say die attitude,

1750

that's restaurateurs,
