So true, and rings loud this week.

“Chefs work hard… They make many sacrifices—normal lives and relationships being just two of them. For those who can do it well (and not everyone can), expanding is a natural thing. I think it’s ridiculous snobbery to insist our chefs die, broken behind the stove, in their fifties. It's ludicrous to expect your chef to be there for every meal you order. That was never the case. Remember: chef means ‘chief.’ Leader. Any good chef's business model is the ability to have a Sunday off or a vacation without his customers ever noticing.”
–Bourdain
