"We have eco-friendly shrimp. We can make them; we have that technology. But we can never have an eco-friendly all-you-can-eat shrimp buffet. It doesn't work."
"Restaurants stress the protein. People read menu items left to right, with the protein first. I read descriptions right to left."
"Why are fish unsustainable? Because they're popular. What makes restaurants work? Popular dishes that people come back for."
