When we caught up with the chef last year to discuss the debut of the series, he explained that his greatest challenge was trying mold his staff into Michelin elite. This time around, Page tells EUR/Electronic Urban Report, “We’re almost there because the first season was “learning” for everybody.”
Adding: “Sometimes you have to see what family is. So we had to go through a lot of Tylenol. After we took those Tylenols we had to wake up the next day from our drama hangovers and come back together. Once you get the bumps and bruises out the way, I think that’s when you can actually move forward. So now that my staff is finally getting it, I think they’re finally getting it, I think we’re on the path to getting that Michelin star.
But Chef Lawrence says that elite star status is “not really the biggest accomplishment this year.”
“We know that we need a sexier, bigger restaurant. We know we need to expand our pallets as well as our… things around us. This new season is about trying to get to Miami so I can bring the staff with me and elevate and go to the next level,” he said.
“Our new restaurant is in Miami/South Beach. It’s 7000 square feet, so we’ll have a lot more staff than we had last year. We’re going to elevate the hospitality to that next level. So now that we got all the B.S. out the way from the first year, everybody knows NOW we’re stepping up our game. So I hope everybody’s ready to step up their game and roll with the punches.”
Check back soon for the continuation of our candid conversation with Chef Lawrence and his baby mama/Pink Tea Cup general manager Ana.
