  • Sometime before he was drafted, Arenas says, he learned his then girlfriend had been intimate with two other players already in the NBA. ‘So she’s sleeping with them two; I just got drafted; I’m trying to make a basketball team; I just bought this Escalade, and I don’t have any money’…’I decided right then: the only way I’m going to repay her is to become big. Cheating on her is not going to do anything. So I dedicated myself to becoming better. Half of that pain was in the gym everyday.’

Generally speaking, American cooks - meaning born in the USA, possibly school trained, culinarily sophisticated types who know before you show them what monter au beurre means and how to make a bernaise sauce - are a lazy, undisciplined and, worst of all, high-maintenance lot, annoyingly opinionated, possessed of egos requiring constant stroking and tune-ups, and, as members of a privileged and wealthy population, unused to the kind of "disrespect" a busy chef is inclined to give out. No one understands and appreciates the American Dream of hard work leading to material rewards better than a non-American. The Ecuadorian, Mexican, Dominican and Salvadorian cooks I've worked with over the years make most CIA educated white boys look like clumsy, sniveling little punks.
