What Jeremy has to say:
“This bow tie is more my personality: Simple and sophisticated but without excessive flair. This is the kind of food I do was well. For this we will be doing nachos, but instead of using wonton chips or tortilla chips, we use nori chips that are fried until crispy. Then we use marinated tomatoes which is a little bit more of a French style and the raw fish which is Hawaii.”
