Episode Synopsis

There is nothing I enjoy more on this podcast than catching up with former students of mine! Justin Chin graduated about 25 years ago, and we hadn't spoken since. It was an extra-pleasant surprise to hear that he is the general manager at San Francisco's hottest restaurant, The Happy Crane. I had to call him up to find out how a kid who skipped college to go to the Marines ended up in fine dining. I had a blast listening to Justin's stories, and I'm so happy he's doing great!
