Now, what what got you into this restaurant business? I fell into this business. I got involved consulting etc. Which we got involved in the business and here I am 2 years later. Basically, like what are the challenges that that that came up once you got involved with this business? So the food business is probably I would say one of the hardest business. Now every business is hard. I've been in done different things in my life. Every business is hard. The food business is extremely challenging because you're technically running three businesses at once. You're running a manufacturing you're manufacturing food. You're running actual hospitality making people feel good and you're running a retail business selling to people. So it's all three that has to be together. And that is extreme challenge because if one of the points does not work and it's they don't forgive so fast. They don't understand that your worker woke up in a bad mood today and he didn't make the food properly or he missed his. So it's very challenging making sure that everything gets run. Everything is is consistent. Um um you know the servers are always smiling, always in a happy mood, always a a good a good vibe. This is very very important and it's a very challenging part but I try very hard and hopefully mentioning the vibes the atmosphere is something else. I when I come in here I feel like I'm stepping into a different world and that is very very good. Um I wanted to ask you um what is one dish that you're very proud of? What's your favorite? And that is your prize dish. If you have I every single dish by us is a prize dish is a delicious dish. I mean, we do not give out any dish if it's not perfect. I don't know what you had tonight, but you can start by our our signature dish, which is a tataki. We have the tataki. It's a very unique dish. You don't have it all the tastes together. We have, you probably had tonight our um crispy beef, which is crispy beef. You can have crispy beef, but our crispy beef is soft. It melts in your mouth even when it's hot, when it's cold. Whatever way you eat it, eat it, you take it home for tomorrow. It's delicious. our tongue cigars. Every single dish that we have, I think we can go through every single dish is unique, delicious, tasty, beautifully presented, and we make sure that you leave after a night, you spend your money over here, you had a good time, you leave with a smile. That's my goal in this business. Wow. Well, you mentioned before that you run a few businesses. I just reminded myself that you technically also have to do social media today. It's like you're a business owner and like an internet personality in a sense. To be successful, we have to do every single thing of the business. I hear. Okay. Thank you so much. Thank you so much you guys for coming. Pleasure. Pleasure. I hope you guys enjoyed. I hope to see you guys back again. Mashem and uh yeah, we'll definitely joy it is. Joy it is. Thank you so much.
