Hi- Apparently his family did a lot of take out, which he got tired of, and so he decided to learn how to cook. The documentary is coming out in November, and I am sure that subject will come up in it. There are people wondering where he came up with the money to open the restaurant, and there are some chefs who feel that he hasn't paid his dues yet. He never went to cooking school, and he already owns his own restaurant, and he is only 19. I had never heard of him until I saw the segment on Nightline about him last week.
