Quotes

“Consistency that’s the thing. I’m on a ten year run of this and I can tell you my sandwiches are always the same. I’ve had knuckleheads and they don't last. I don’t tolerate it. I know they are not cooking the meat right or they’re not slicing the onions right. I know how that sandwich is supposed to be.” - [21:38] Al Calozzi
I don’t look at them as failures; it’s lessons learned along the way… What kept me going through all those failures and obstacles was that passion. I love making cheesesteaks. I love cooking. I love being in hot kitchens.” - [40:53] Al Calozzi
Think about all the time we spend with friends and family and the times we cherish. Typically that’s done over food and drink.” - [45:20] Shawn Walchef
