Were you always interested in starting a food business?
Actually, I was interested in sales at first, because that's what both my parents do. But I used to work part time in a cafe when I was a kid and that's what got me interested.
What was the first place you opened?
I rented a cheap place near the university and I started selling lunches to the students. The place was always crowded at lunchtime, so one day I sold it. With that money, I opened a much bigger place downtown.
