Bottega chef and "lifestyle brand" Michael Chiarello has some advice for young chefs: "I don’t know successful chefs that built a career on five-day, eight-hour weeks. Even with my younger cooks, I’ll barge into their apartment, say ‘Hey what’s going on guys, just stopped by to say hi.’ I’ll use the bathroom and see what they’re reading in there. A successful chef is reading food magazines in the middle of the night, not Penthouse!" [New Potato]
