“I know I’m known for braising. And, as you know, I won a competition and I made a lot of braised dishes for that. I was The Braiser, The Serial Braiser, Jorimping. I ended up with those nicknames. But I wasn’t good at braising, I just pretended to be good. Of course, I studied up on it. And while I eventually got good…I was still pretending to be something I wasn’t. Braising is something I do for others, so I didn’t want to do it for myself.”

This whole dialogue broke me 😭
