He just about ran Flint and Vast to the ground and helped get the Williams and Associates contract terminated as a result of gross mismanagement. He has grown a lot as a chef and person, but you are lying to yourself if you think his stint at Flint and Vast was anything but an abject failure. The entire original management and culinary team ****ed that place up for years. It is honestly amazing that it is still open as that concept, and they did not rebrand it after that ****show.
