"The longer I've been in New York the more I've looked back at where I'm from - flavor memories, etc. I wanted my food [at Aska] to represent how I think and feel." [2:15]
"I like being outdoors. I like going out and picking whatever I can find for the restaurant. There are a lot of things growing in New York all over the place." [9:00]
