| Chef Michelle Bernstein and husband, restauranteur, David Martinez |
Chef Michelle Bernstein says "The first place I worked as a cook was Janjo's in the Grove for Chef Jan Jorgensen. At the end of my shift he'd say 'here's half a lime. Go clean the stove.' I said 'Can I get a whole lime?' and he said 'No. Too expensive.' He locked me in the fridge one time to make whipped cream. What a great first chef. He made me tough, got me ready for all the crazy French guys."
Asked what he does at Michy's her husband David Martinez says "I drink rum and cokes all day. Just kidding. I take care of the business. It takes a very unique personality to be in restaurants. You have to be very passionate. If you just wanna get rich you're in the wrong business. We have 15 more years on the lease here. I would love to be here forever."
