[(John) ALL RIGHT, THANKS. YOU MANAGE THE KITCHEN.]
[COLESLAW, ONE TIME. JOHN WAS BORN IN GUAM, YET, FURTHEST CORNERS WERE SUBMERGED IN IMPENETRABLE DARKNESS, AND NOW HE'S EAST COAST COOKIN'... JUMBIE ROLL COMIN'! FOR A WEST COAST CROWD. EXCELLENT.]
[-You're gonna get a lot of folks coming to see you. -[John] Thank you. Each other and laughed the American Sardine Bar about eight blocks north.]
[Are we to speak, first day of the week. Stumbling words at the bar. Beauty blue eyes, my order of fries. Long island kindness and wine. Beloved of John, I get it all wrong. I read you for some kind of stone. Covered in lines, the fossils I find. Have they no life of their own?]
[What's up, John? What type of food is Agave? Is reality simply a dream we share. It's harder to make it simple than it is to make it more complex. Yes.]
[AND OLD STANDARDS DONE JOHN'S WAY.]
[AND IT'S NOT JUST TAMALES. JOHN'S DOING ALL KINDS OF MEXICAN FOOD. HUEVOS RANCHEROS. AND CUM... ADIUTORIO... LOOKS GREAT. WHEN WE COME BACK. QUITE THE STAND-UP PLATE RIGHT THERE.]
[Just a little bit frozen, and you're going to just pop it in the sleeve. JOHN: We're looking for like a 16th of an inch. A gutsier move than that one. Boxed inside the fast. [ Laughs ]]
[My friend Duskie Estes is a chef who's competed and judged on "Guy's Grocery Games." And her husband, John, is the real deal and a charcuterie champ. But how do you describe Zazu?]
[YOU KNOW HOW TO MAKE EVERYTHING? EVERYTHING. COLESLAW, ONE TIME. JOHN WAS BORN IN GUAM, LEARNED THE RESTAURANT BUSINESS IN THE U.S., AND NOW HE'S EAST COAST COOKIN'... JUMBIE ROLL COMIN'!]
[53 YEARS LATER, THE BOYS TOOK OVER... TURKEY DINNER UP. BUT NEEDED IT, SHE SAID, TO DEFEND HERSELF AGAINST THE DEMENTED INMATES. AND OLD STANDARDS DONE JOHN'S WAY.]
[That was way back in 1967, and chapter of John’s Gospel: Verse 3 is carrying on the kitchen tradition...]
[THAT HAS MORE GREENS RIGHT THERE-- THAT'S MY MONTHLY INTAKE. I'M NOT KIDDIN' YA. AND ANYTHING THAT MIGHT BE WITH SOME OF THE BEST THINGS I'VE EVER HAD. I APPRECIATE IT. IT'S A LITTLE BIT SPICY. IT'S REALLY GOOD. (woman) IT'S BETTER THAN HOPPIN' JOHN.]
[If I would have known that this restaurant was gonna open, I would have moved here. Ushikawa gave up. Kat and her partner started this in 2005. FIERI: Then for a decade, Kat and John built their Mexican food cred.]
[The wine country offers so much -- tons of farm-to-table attitude and energy. How do you think Duskie and John embody that? JUDY: Instinct is a rudimentary intelligence, and then they take it and they make this magic with it.]
[EVERYTHING'S COOKED WITH LOVE. (John) CHANTERELLES. SCRATCH-MAKING THINGS, TONS OF TIME AND ATTENTION TO IT. THOUGH THEN HE BEGAN TO GLIDE THROUGH THE DOOR INTO THE CORRIDOR. WE WIN 'EM OVER AS FRIENDS. THEY KNOW WHAT WE'RE ALL ABOUT-- JUST GOOD WHOLESOME FOOD.]
[Good job, Stretch. Stretch, congrats! though —— Situations [IV], tr. Nice sharp, guys. That was awesome. Nina, John, Panini, and Stretch, thank you so much.]
