I was hired as a sous-chef at a restaurant on the Upper East Side. The chef liked to drink – some mornings we would find him sleeping. Two weeks after its opening, I became the chef. I was 20 years old, and way over my head. I had to hire the cooks and do the menus.

The people who know me do not ask me about the next book or how it’s going. They ask, ‘Jason, are you sleeping?’ because they know my brain will not shut down.
