I believe that if you don't have systems, you don't have a business - you simply have a job for yourself. My challenge has been to build those systems in a new restaurant setting.

The best moments of my working life are when I find people who are passionate about what they do. That happens a lot in film, and it's an exciting experience that creates its own energy. I think that underlying care and passion is key in any successful company.

The creative aspect is the most rewarding for me. By that, I mean seeing a concept come to life. It's the part where I sit in my restaurant Tabun Kitchen on a Friday night, listen to the buzz and see the delight on people's faces as they eat, soaking in and enjoying the atmosphere.
