I was carrying a tray, I slid, and a whole tray of food - well, it was like I blacked out. It was a factory! I fell on the floor once. We hired 140 servers, and at the end of the week, not everyone would make it. There’s no way in hell that place couldn’t be a successful TV show. It should have been a TV show, that’s for sure. What’s your most missed Boston restaurant? Anthony’s Pier 4. Indian food is pretty big now, and we have some great restaurants in Quincy for Indian food. What kind of restaurant is Boston missing right now? I’d love to see more Arabic and Middle Eastern foods, more Mongolian foods and African foods. How about that? I couldn’t eat them, and as a kid, they’d give them to me. But I don’t know that I have any food I really wouldn’t eat. What’s the one food you never want to eat again? I don’t care for Vietnamese food. I try not to get involved in political stuff, that’s all. I look at the obituaries, all that local news. I also read our local paper, the Patriot Ledger. I do read our local papers online every day. I’m trying to figure out what we did wrong in the world. What are you reading? I usually go online, mostly. What’s the most overdone trend right now? Bourbons and mixology. Just a smoked shoulder, and you make soup out of it. I became fascinated with wine, meeting winemakers.

I was lower-skill, coming from the farms of Albania with no education, and restaurants were the only way in. And I think Lydia Shire does a wonderful job at Scampo. They don’t change the menu they stay with the same beautiful, classic dishes. I worked there for three years, and I understand their background. They take so much pride in their product. What other restaurants do you visit? I do love Grill 23. Now you have food from all over the world, people with different ideas, and lots of culinary training. How has the restaurant landscape changed since you arrived in Boston? I’m not that old, but as a young man, you talked about Anthony’s, Jimmy’s, Café Budapest. ![]()
