00:00My philosophy has always been, if it weren't for employees and if it weren't for the customers,
00:06the restaurant business would be the greatest business in the world.
00:09And basically, I hate people, but you can't put that out there, right?
00:13No, we can't.
00:15Charlie Trotter's restaurant was amazing, as good as anywhere you could eat in a three-star
00:21restaurant in France.
00:23Charlie was out there, way out there.
00:26He wasn't going to stand for mediocrity.
00:29The reputation of the restaurant and the fame and fortune would all become bound up
00:33in his identity.
00:34Towards the end, it was to the point, like, Charlie, why?
00:38You can't do the same thing forever.
00:40You might go completely insane.
00:43So many people don't know Charlie.
00:45They know this persona.
00:50He was the first American kid to be really fearless, to invent new things.
00:55He had to express himself or he would have exploded.
00:59He would write to me that people thought he was a total enigma.
01:01He often felt very isolated and very alone and, like, nobody understood.
01:10Charlie was really a control freak.
01:13He was known as a tyrant.
01:15He was the puppeteer.
01:16He figured out a way to get what he wanted from all of us.
01:22You're really getting on my nerves at this point, sir.
01:25He was being questioned like he had never been questioned before.
01:29Why couldn't he re-imagine his food and why couldn't he re-imagine himself?
01:34Nobody appreciates legacy and if you're not on top in that moment, you just don't matter.
01:40Being Charlie Trotter, that was almost a sentence in some ways.
01:44I don't know if Charlie really knew how many people that he impacted.
01:47He is definitely a legend.
