angst, anxiety, stress, drugs & alcohol, addiction, passion, commitment, dedication, hunger, drive, desire...like love, hate, sex and pain~ all of them make for a very unique, exciting and adrenaline filled environment! One feeds off another with an instinct for more, and so on. They fuel each other...and handled correctly can make for the best kick ass kitchen and cooking experience around. Handled poorly and you've got a recipe for disaster with an appetite for destruction! And so as it goes, the inertia of chaos perpetuates forward with the end-product resulting in the success or failure by the sum of its parts. Good or bad...I'm along for the ride in this crazy life I know as a chef!
