00:00:10,301 --> 00:00:12,262
Since there were no Persian subtitles for this documentary, I had to
As a viewer (who is eager to learn professional cooking), I learned how to make subtitles and translate, which is an honor.
And I am happy that finally Persian speaking viewers can easily watch this documentary and learn something from it and enjoy it.
I tried my best to explain the terms in Farsi so that it is easy for you to understand the sentences 
So, I hope you enjoy this season and learn something at the end of each episode

00:00:12,345 --> 00:00:14,514
[Man 1] When I was a kid growing up in New York,

3
00:00:14,597 --> 00:00:18,601
My job after school was to fold a mountain of pizza boxes.

4
00:00:22,147 --> 00:00:24,858
On the boxes it was written: "You've tried the rest, now try the best."

5
00:00:24,941 --> 00:00:27,110
which was written on the boxes of all these words.

6
00:00:28,695 --> 00:00:31,990
Looking at that box, I thought, "This can't be right."

7
00:00:32,532 --> 00:00:34,743
"It might be a little biased."

8
00:00:36,161 --> 00:00:38,705
really Do you also use the same bromate and bleached flour?
(Bromate: a type of industrial flour with chemical additives to improve baking)

9
00:00:38,788 --> 00:00:40,457
The same piece of uniform and poor quality cheese?

10
00:00:41,207 --> 00:00:45,170
What magic can these hands do on these raw materials?

11
00:00:48,131 --> 00:00:50,341
I heard people say: "The secret is in the water."

12
00:00:52,635 --> 00:00:53,928
I love wood ovens.

13
00:00:55,388 --> 00:00:56,556
Is this a secret?

14
00:00:57,390 --> 00:00:58,349
no it is not

15
00:00:58,892 --> 00:01:00,018
Here is the secret.

16
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:02,562
Garbage comes out. do you know
(that is, low-quality food is made with low-quality ingredients)

17
00:01:03,980 --> 00:01:06,691
If you put garbage in it, garbage will come out.

18
00:01:08,485 --> 00:01:10,153
Put good things in the oven.

19
00:01:11,071 --> 00:01:13,615
Then we have the chance to make something good.

20
00:01:20,038 --> 00:01:23,208
[Vivaldi's "Winter" concerto is played]

21
00:02:20,890 --> 00:02:23,059
[weak sound of birds singing]

22
00:02:34,112 --> 00:02:37,240
[Male 2] I wrote a book in which I traveled all over the country.

23
00:02:37,866 --> 00:02:38,783
And I went to Italy.

24
00:02:40,368 --> 00:02:43,079
In one year, I ate a thousand pieces of pizza.

25
00:02:44,664 --> 00:02:46,082
And I wrote in my book,

26
00:02:46,749 --> 00:02:48,334
"The best pizza in the world

27
00:02:48,877 --> 00:02:50,920
It's made in Phoenix, Arizona."

28
00:02:51,004 --> 00:02:53,006
[happy music plays]

29
00:02:53,089 --> 00:02:56,551
[Ed] People thought it was the most blasphemous thing one could say.

30
00:02:56,634 --> 00:02:59,512
"Oh, isn't it made in New York?" or "It's not made in Italy?"

31
00:03:00,555 --> 00:03:03,933
"You know, you're crazy," said Vogue's food critic.

32
00:03:04,851 --> 00:03:09,439
I said, "Well, go to Phoenix, try the pizza."

33
00:03:09,522 --> 00:03:10,523
"Talk to me later."

34
00:03:12,233 --> 00:03:15,737
He called me from the airport.

35
00:03:16,362 --> 00:03:18,156
He said: "You were right."

36
00:03:21,534 --> 00:03:24,537
[Man 3] The first time I went to meet Chris Bianco,

37
00:03:24,621 --> 00:03:27,165
He was a kind of master Yoda of the pizza oven.
(referring to the character of Yoda from Star Wars, meaning the wise master)

38
00:03:27,874 --> 00:03:33,713
He talked about pizza, desert, and how he fit into it all.

39
00:03:34,422 --> 00:03:36,257
The last one to go out. come here

40
00:03:36,341 --> 00:03:37,634
[Man 3] It was really confusing,

41
00:03:38,259 --> 00:03:41,471
But after hanging out with Chris Bianco, you look at pizza in a different way.

42
00:03:43,473 --> 00:03:44,891
Drop it baby, drop the ball.

43
00:03:48,353 --> 00:03:51,564
Chris has a very rough appearance.

44
00:03:51,648 --> 00:03:53,775
And Kelly says "Fuck" and stuff like that.

45
00:03:53,858 --> 00:03:55,777
But very, very kind.

46
00:03:57,737 --> 00:04:01,074
[Mia] wants people to feel good, and that keeps her up at night.

47
00:04:03,076 --> 00:04:07,163
There is something about old New York taxi drivers in it.

48
00:04:08,373 --> 00:04:10,750
[Brett] But Chris is like the John Coltrane of pizza.
(John Coltrane, the great jazz saxophonist who revolutionized music)

49
00:04:10,833 --> 00:04:12,460
This man changed the game.

50
00:04:16,422 --> 00:04:20,385
[Ed] Before Chris, people used canned pizza sauce.

51
00:04:21,469 --> 00:04:22,971
regular flour

52
00:04:24,555 --> 00:04:27,642
Chris took every ingredient to the next level.

53
00:04:28,268 --> 00:04:31,771
"It's worth doing right," he said.

54
00:04:32,689 --> 00:04:37,110
And now, if you look across the country, in all 50 states,

55
00:04:37,193 --> 00:04:39,279
You can find pizza

56
00:04:39,362 --> 00:04:42,490
That was inspired by what Chris did.

57
00:04:43,616 --> 00:04:47,578
He practically started the pizza revolution in this country.

58
00:04:54,419 --> 00:04:57,171
[scattered customer talk]

59
00:05:00,133 --> 00:05:03,011
Marg, Vaizgai.
(Vizgay: the name of one of Chris's famous pizzas with sausage and grilled onions)

60
00:05:03,886 --> 00:05:06,973
I have something else for them. Do you want to take it out on the table?

61
00:05:07,056 --> 00:05:09,434
[Chris] Now, there's a big one coming…

62
00:05:14,397 --> 00:05:17,066
Well, friends, the pizza is coming.

63
00:05:17,150 --> 00:05:20,903
Wayzagai, smoked mozzarella, fennel sausage, grilled onion.
(Mozzarella: famous Italian cheese / fennel: an aromatic herb used in Italian sausage)

64
00:05:24,115 --> 00:05:26,701
[Chris] As a kid from New York, we think we know everything.

65
00:05:27,660 --> 00:05:31,831
Yankees are the best. Your mom's meatballs are the best.

66
00:05:32,665 --> 00:05:34,459
But what makes it the best anyway?

67
00:05:34,542 --> 00:05:36,586
[soft guitar music plays]

68
00:05:36,669 --> 00:05:39,297
[Chris] I will never forget my first trip to Italy.

69
00:05:40,923 --> 00:05:44,594
We went to a small local restaurant (trattoria). A very simple dish.
(Tratoria: simple and informal Italian restaurant)

70
00:05:46,387 --> 00:05:49,807
I remember wondering what the dessert would be.

71
00:05:51,184 --> 00:05:52,810
A big rum cake?
(Rum cake: cake soaked with rum liquor)

72
00:05:53,811 --> 00:05:54,896
Cannoli?
(Cannoli: traditional Italian pastry with cylindrical shell and cheesy core)

73
00:05:55,980 --> 00:05:57,607
And then came dessert.

74
00:05:57,690 --> 00:05:59,484
There was a man who was pushing

75
00:05:59,567 --> 00:06:02,362
A small rickety cart with a tin bowl.

76
00:06:02,445 --> 00:06:05,406
who was sweating from the ice inside.

77
00:06:06,991 --> 00:06:12,705
And there were only peaches in that bowl, like apples floating in a pan of ice.

78
00:06:13,831 --> 00:06:16,542
And I thought, "What am I going to do with this peach?"

79
00:06:19,128 --> 00:06:20,963
I took a spoon and brought it.

80
00:06:22,882 --> 00:06:24,842
I cut this peach with a knife.

81
00:06:24,926 --> 00:06:27,678
[emotional string music soars]

82
00:06:29,472 --> 00:06:32,809
[Chris] I remember grabbing it, biting it…

83
00:06:35,853 --> 00:06:37,980
And it was as if I had never eaten before.

84
00:06:40,483 --> 00:06:44,529
It was like a lightning bolt of perfection in simplicity.

85
00:06:46,197 --> 00:06:49,283
Probably the biggest dream I've ever had.

86
00:06:58,793 --> 00:07:01,295
[Man] We grew some types of Italian grains.

87
00:07:01,379 --> 00:07:04,674
We also grew some barley from Magdalena in Mexico.

88
00:07:04,757 --> 00:07:06,926
- [Chris] Wow, great.
-[The man] likes it here very much.

89
00:07:07,009 --> 00:07:10,096
[Chris] This is a little petri dish from the future.
(Petri dish: laboratory plate, an allusion to a small laboratory to discover the future)

90
00:07:10,179 --> 00:07:13,182
- [Man] Yes.
- Pieces of all facilities.

91
00:07:13,266 --> 00:07:16,394
[Chris] So these are mostly... these are all like flint corn.
(Flint corn: a type of hard corn with colored seeds)

92
00:07:16,477 --> 00:07:21,732
We planted this with similar traditional spacing...

93
00:07:21,816 --> 00:07:22,733
hmmm

94
00:07:22,817 --> 00:07:25,528
...as it was seen in the time of the Indians.

95
00:07:25,611 --> 00:07:28,030
-But isn't this a beautiful plant?
- Beautiful, man.

96
00:07:28,114 --> 00:07:29,115
do you know

97
00:07:29,198 --> 00:07:30,158
it's beautiful

98
00:07:32,076 --> 00:07:33,870
Let's try this cereal.

99
00:07:33,953 --> 00:07:34,954
let's do it

100
00:07:37,540 --> 00:07:38,624
[sound of flour mill]

101
00:07:38,708 --> 00:07:41,461
[Chris] It all starts with a tactile approach.
(that is, by touching and feeling the ingredients)

102
00:07:42,253 --> 00:07:43,963
You must be local

103
00:07:44,797 --> 00:07:47,467
To get close to it, to touch it.

104
00:07:49,051 --> 00:07:54,515
Getting something from the source, or as close to it as possible, is so magical.

105
00:07:54,599 --> 00:07:56,601
[happy music plays]

106
00:07:58,144 --> 00:07:59,937
People who are not from the desert,

107
00:08:00,021 --> 00:08:02,857
They don't think of it as a blessed place.

108
00:08:04,442 --> 00:08:06,903
[Bert] But actually, Chris lives in a part of the world

109
00:08:06,986 --> 00:08:10,281
which has deep traditions in wheat cultivation.

110
00:08:11,032 --> 00:08:13,075
Oh yeah, great.

111
00:08:13,159 --> 00:08:16,329
This heat, and all that moisture is good.

112
00:08:17,580 --> 00:08:19,499
[Brett] What Chris discovered

113
00:08:19,582 --> 00:08:23,127
Arizona was growing wheat that was going to Italy.
(That is, Arizona's high-quality wheat was exported to Italy, where it was turned into pasta and pizza)

114
00:08:25,213 --> 00:08:30,593
People used this ideal wheat for pasta and pizza.

115
00:08:30,676 --> 00:08:32,637
And this wheat does not stay in Arizona.

116
00:08:33,179 --> 00:08:34,764
This was a lucky thing.

117
00:08:36,599 --> 00:08:39,519
Wheat was one of the reasons that made him a great pizza maker.

118
00:08:41,020 --> 00:08:44,899
he precise composition of flour,

119
00:08:45,733 --> 00:08:46,651
working with dough

120
00:08:47,777 --> 00:08:49,779
And it has time to cook in the oven

121
00:08:50,821 --> 00:08:53,449
which reaches an ideal point.

122
00:08:54,534 --> 00:08:57,578
The crust is so thin that it lasts until the tip of the pizza slice.

123
00:08:58,746 --> 00:09:03,334
And somehow it does this while it is still thin.

124
00:09:05,294 --> 00:09:06,837
And before Chris Bianco,

125
00:09:06,921 --> 00:09:09,465
You thought it might be impossible to achieve this.

126
00:09:10,550 --> 00:09:14,136
-Be careful of rattlesnakes. [laughs]
- Yes, man. They always take the atmosphere. do you know

127
00:09:14,220 --> 00:09:15,846
They always ruin the party.

128
00:09:15,930 --> 00:09:18,057
i know i know

129
00:09:19,392 --> 00:09:21,143
[Sound of drawer opening]

130
00:09:27,149 --> 00:09:30,194
Chris, this is my favorite photo of Dad and me.

131
00:09:30,278 --> 00:09:34,031
- We were just married. the first...
- Newly married. Isn't it cute?

132
00:09:34,115 --> 00:09:38,202
look at this This is my dad and me. It was New Year's Day, 1960.

133
00:09:38,869 --> 00:09:41,789
[Chris's mother] Look at your father. exactly like you exactly like you

134
00:09:41,872 --> 00:09:43,499
-Poor, poor.
- Yes.

135
00:09:43,583 --> 00:09:45,501
- He is in New York. yes
- This photo is great.

136
00:09:45,585 --> 00:09:49,255
- This is you when you were a little boy.
- [Chris] Before I do something bad.

137
00:09:49,338 --> 00:09:51,757
- I have a little one...
- I remember this pin.

138
00:09:51,841 --> 00:09:54,510
[Chris's mother] She's about... about 120 years old.

139
00:09:54,594 --> 00:09:57,597
And my father gave it to me. I was just married. said--

140
00:09:57,680 --> 00:10:00,349
-"In case of trouble..." Boom.
- In case of trouble...

141
00:10:00,433 --> 00:10:02,727
In short... and I can't tell you

142
00:10:02,810 --> 00:10:07,398
How many pizzas, breads and cakes have I made with this.

143
00:10:07,481 --> 00:10:09,317
[Chris] Great. do you have anything else

144
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,861
Oh, I have other things. Let me get them quickly.

145
00:10:11,944 --> 00:10:13,487
[Chris] I was born in the Bronx.
(Bronx: one of the neighborhoods of New York)

146
00:10:14,196 --> 00:10:15,865
When I was about five years old,

147
00:10:16,616 --> 00:10:20,036
I had attacks that I could not breathe.

148
00:10:20,745 --> 00:10:21,996
[speech unintelligible]

149
00:10:22,079 --> 00:10:24,081
[Chris] It was the worst possible thing.

150
00:10:24,165 --> 00:10:26,417
I thought, "Maybe I can't anymore."

151
00:10:27,168 --> 00:10:29,337
"Maybe one day I won't breathe again."

152
00:10:30,463 --> 00:10:31,881
The result was that I had asthma.

153
00:10:31,964 --> 00:10:33,966
[soft guitar music plays]

154
00:10:35,176 --> 00:10:36,844
[Chris] There was no inhaler back then.

155
00:10:38,262 --> 00:10:39,639
You had this pill.

156
00:10:40,681 --> 00:10:42,808
If you couldn't breathe, you would chew one.

157
00:10:44,810 --> 00:10:48,022
If it got worse, you would go to the hospital and get an adrenaline shot.

158
00:10:48,105 --> 00:10:50,524
Which... at least it wasn't pleasant.

159
00:10:52,860 --> 00:10:54,070
He kept me at home.

160
00:10:55,446 --> 00:10:58,115
I loved sports, but I missed a lot of games.

161
00:11:00,785 --> 00:11:03,120
But he allowed me to do something else.

162
00:11:04,288 --> 00:11:06,832
I used to help my mother and grandmother in cooking.

163
00:11:09,418 --> 00:11:12,463
My mom was the best cook.

164
00:11:13,547 --> 00:11:15,841
Only natural, the taste was great.

165
00:11:17,259 --> 00:11:18,803
You just understand.

166
00:11:18,886 --> 00:11:21,639
It was full of love, full of Qalkhli meatballs.

167
00:11:22,556 --> 00:11:24,684
Chicken Cachatore, which was my favorite dish.
(Chicken Cachatore: Italian chicken stew with tomatoes, onions and vegetables)

168
00:11:26,060 --> 00:11:30,314
I was in the company of these women who had a great impact on my life.

169
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:32,942
So, from that, you know,

170
00:11:33,025 --> 00:11:35,069
Asthma did not become a harmful thing.

171
00:11:36,445 --> 00:11:38,406
In the end, it became an incredible blessing.

172
00:12:00,010 --> 00:12:03,723
My first job was in a pizzeria called Aldo Pizza

173
00:12:04,432 --> 00:12:06,684
on Croton Street in Ossining, New York.

174
00:12:06,767 --> 00:12:09,729
[guitar music plays]

175
00:12:12,189 --> 00:12:16,652
[Chris] My job was to bring flour up from the basement

176
00:12:16,736 --> 00:12:18,738
And I gave it to the pizza maker.

177
00:12:20,948 --> 00:12:24,368
And then I was promoted to grate mozzarella.

178
00:12:26,954 --> 00:12:29,039
You know, I could eat a few pizzas.

179
00:12:30,708 --> 00:12:32,877
What was great about it,

180
00:12:33,711 --> 00:12:38,007
It was that you wore an apron, you wore a cool white t-shirt.

181
00:12:38,549 --> 00:12:41,385
You got a drink per shift, which was great.

182
00:12:43,012 --> 00:12:44,930
If your friends buy a slice of pizza,

183
00:12:46,348 --> 00:12:48,184
You felt important

184
00:12:48,267 --> 00:12:50,603
Because you had something that people wanted.

185
00:12:55,232 --> 00:12:58,068
It was a really good start to be a part of something.

186
00:12:59,904 --> 00:13:04,158
Pizza made me feel like I belonged. That sense of purpose.

187
00:13:04,992 --> 00:13:06,994
It made me feel like a superhero.

188
00:13:08,412 --> 00:13:09,955
And that was great.

189
00:13:23,010 --> 00:13:25,471
[Chris] When I was a kid, I was a very easygoing kid.

190
00:13:25,554 --> 00:13:27,389
- [Chris's mother] Oh yeah, right.
- [laughs]

191
00:13:27,473 --> 00:13:30,434
oh my god Chris had decided to...

192
00:13:30,518 --> 00:13:33,813
- [Chris] What did I decide?
- He doesn't like school. [laughs]

193
00:13:33,896 --> 00:13:36,023
You made me take you to little league.

194
00:13:36,106 --> 00:13:39,235
We were sitting in the car, and you said, "I saw your report card."

195
00:13:39,318 --> 00:13:41,654
"What do you want to do with yourself?" And I said,

196
00:13:41,737 --> 00:13:43,322
"I want to be a baseball player."

197
00:13:43,405 --> 00:13:45,908
You said, "No, I see, you're not that good."

198
00:13:46,742 --> 00:13:49,703
- This was a good encounter with reality.
-[Chris's mother] Chris still...

199
00:13:49,787 --> 00:13:52,122
[Father Chris] So many seasons in our lives.

200
00:13:52,206 --> 00:13:55,376
- It was like that. canvas [sound of fingers]
- [Father Chris] I had not seen him.

201
00:13:55,459 --> 00:13:58,712
How old, huh? I think we will stay for a long time.

202
00:13:58,796 --> 00:14:01,131
- I think you two will succeed.
-For a long time.

203
00:14:01,215 --> 00:14:03,300
[Chris] You never had a fight in all these years.

204
00:14:03,384 --> 00:14:07,596
Well, divorce never-- murder maybe, but divorce no, no.

205
00:14:07,680 --> 00:14:10,182
[laughing]

206
00:14:10,266 --> 00:14:12,977
[Chris] Asthma was more of a nocturnal problem.

207
00:14:13,894 --> 00:14:15,271
I could not sleep.

208
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:19,900
At school, I felt like if I could just stay awake,

209
00:14:19,984 --> 00:14:21,402
I can overcome it.

210
00:14:21,485 --> 00:14:24,405
[guitar music plays]

211
00:14:24,905 --> 00:14:26,699
[Chris] But I was damn tired.

212
00:14:28,659 --> 00:14:30,077
I was not good in high school.

213
00:14:31,537 --> 00:14:33,998
I did not see the university as my place.

214
00:14:36,041 --> 00:14:37,626
I didn't know what to do

215
00:14:37,710 --> 00:14:41,338
Where do I fit in, how do I feel... about nothing.

216
00:14:43,924 --> 00:14:47,303
I left school in the third year of high school.

217
00:14:49,305 --> 00:14:53,267
Something I am not proud of at all.

218
00:14:55,185 --> 00:14:59,607
From the very beginning, my parents challenged me not to be afraid of them.

219
00:15:00,441 --> 00:15:02,109
But I am afraid of disappointing them.

220
00:15:04,695 --> 00:15:09,575
I remember I went to my father with fear and told him...

221
00:15:12,077 --> 00:15:16,916
Yeah, I can't imagine what my parents went through, you know.

222
00:15:20,586 --> 00:15:22,922
[Mia] After Chris left high school,

223
00:15:23,005 --> 00:15:25,257
His father did not talk to him for a year.

224
00:15:25,341 --> 00:15:28,594
He was upset, which I think was a natural reaction.

225
00:15:32,514 --> 00:15:35,684
[Chris] I decided I didn't want to be the one to let them down.

226
00:15:37,895 --> 00:15:40,105
I knew I could do two things.

227
00:15:41,815 --> 00:15:42,900
I could be kind...

228
00:15:45,277 --> 00:15:48,197
And I could work as hard as any other human being I met.

229
00:15:51,533 --> 00:15:54,620
I could choose not to let anyone down.

230
00:16:16,392 --> 00:16:17,267
Oh, hey.

231
00:16:17,351 --> 00:16:20,229
-Oh! You have arrived after 40 years!
- Just like that.

232
00:16:20,312 --> 00:16:22,147
"Go to church," said my mother.

233
00:16:22,231 --> 00:16:24,692
- Oh, wait a minute!
- So, I came, I came.

234
00:16:24,775 --> 00:16:25,609
It is not unreasonable.

235
00:16:25,693 --> 00:16:26,902
- Brother...
- How are you, boy?

236
00:16:26,986 --> 00:16:28,988
You have not changed. Your hair is just a little white.

237
00:16:29,071 --> 00:16:31,657
Do you know what's good about it? The weaker your eyes are, the better I look.

238
00:16:31,740 --> 00:16:33,742
- My eyes are very weak.
- I know, I know.

239
00:16:33,826 --> 00:16:36,328
- [Chris] Lots of memories here.
- Oh yes.

240
00:16:36,412 --> 00:16:37,955
I remember, I was in college.

241
00:16:38,038 --> 00:16:40,374
Your mother came and wanted to send you to work.

242
00:16:40,457 --> 00:16:42,334
My father said, "Do you think he can handle it?"

243
00:16:42,418 --> 00:16:43,627
I can't work like you!

244
00:16:43,711 --> 00:16:46,422
- [Man] Let's go make some mozzarella.
- [Chris] Let's go, let's go.

245
00:16:46,505 --> 00:16:48,424
[Man] Something you can't do in Arizona.

246
00:16:48,507 --> 00:16:50,134
- [Chris] Yeah?
Bronx tap water.

247
00:16:50,843 --> 00:16:52,636
[Chris] I feel the Bronx right here, baby.

248
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:53,887
[Man] That's right.

249
00:16:53,971 --> 00:16:58,017
[Chris] After leaving school, I had no skills.

250
00:16:58,684 --> 00:17:01,353
I was just looking for a place to learn something.

251
00:17:01,854 --> 00:17:03,564
[Man] Gentile, Gentile.
(Gentil: meaning noble and kind, here is a loving nickname)

252
00:17:04,106 --> 00:17:07,192
[Chris] There was a place that was always like a mecca for me.

253
00:17:08,027 --> 00:17:09,695
Mike's Deli in the Bronx.

254
00:17:11,113 --> 00:17:12,448
Whenever I went there,

255
00:17:12,948 --> 00:17:16,744
Mike Greco would give you slices of prosciutto.
(Prosciutto: dry Italian ham)

256
00:17:16,827 --> 00:17:17,995
Hello, ok.

257
00:17:18,704 --> 00:17:22,541
[Chris] sings opera while you wait to taste it.

258
00:17:22,624 --> 00:17:26,628
[The song "Spirito gentil" by La Favria is played]

259
00:17:30,674 --> 00:17:33,385
[Chris] You cut the mozzarella into animal shapes,

260
00:17:34,511 --> 00:17:36,388
And such crazy things.

261
00:17:39,558 --> 00:17:40,893
[Mike] Look at this lightning.

262
00:17:41,393 --> 00:17:44,980
[Chris] Back then, my mozzarella skills weren't very good.

263
00:17:45,064 --> 00:17:47,900
“Yeah, man,” Dave Greco said. Come, come."

264
00:17:47,983 --> 00:17:49,985
"We will make some mozzarella."

265
00:17:50,069 --> 00:17:54,448
[opera continues]

266
00:18:00,162 --> 00:18:03,624
[Chris] I remember my elbow was boiling in hot water.

267
00:18:04,708 --> 00:18:06,460
And I could see the fat rising.

268
00:18:09,588 --> 00:18:10,964
I was pulling the curds,
(Cheese curds: coagulated pieces of milk before turning into cheese)

269
00:18:12,341 --> 00:18:13,884
And I watched them transform.

270
00:18:14,843 --> 00:18:17,012
And I said, "How do we know when it's over?"

271
00:18:18,097 --> 00:18:19,306
he said,

272
00:18:19,389 --> 00:18:20,682
"When he smiles."

273
00:18:21,809 --> 00:18:22,684
And that was it.

274
00:18:22,768 --> 00:18:24,770
[opera continues]

275
00:18:33,362 --> 00:18:35,322
[Chris] I knew what he meant.

276
00:18:36,573 --> 00:18:37,991
There is only one presence.

277
00:18:39,118 --> 00:18:40,661
It feels like this.

278
00:18:41,620 --> 00:18:44,456
That moment of time when everything comes together.

279
00:18:44,540 --> 00:18:47,042
And sometimes there is no word for it except that,

280
00:18:47,126 --> 00:18:48,252
"When he smiles."

281
00:19:04,101 --> 00:19:05,185
[car horn]

282
00:19:08,021 --> 00:19:10,566
[Man] This is a family recipe that grandma used to make.

283
00:19:10,649 --> 00:19:12,651
- [Chris] God bless him.
- That is why we are here today.

284
00:19:12,734 --> 00:19:16,530
Because grandmother's orders turned this store into what it is today.

285
00:19:16,613 --> 00:19:19,158
[Chris] This is so beautiful. Lots of pasta

286
00:19:19,241 --> 00:19:22,452
I felt it between my fingers, but it's a really nice thing, man.

287
00:19:24,288 --> 00:19:27,082
[Chris] In my early twenties, I had no money,

288
00:19:28,375 --> 00:19:30,711
And I had no real education.

289
00:19:30,794 --> 00:19:33,338
And I didn't see any future in New York.

290
00:19:34,298 --> 00:19:35,799
There was nothing for me.

291
00:19:37,092 --> 00:19:40,387
[soft guitar music plays]

292
00:19:42,681 --> 00:19:44,766
[Chris] New York is the smallest world.

293
00:19:46,602 --> 00:19:48,854
You go to the grocery store, you go to the delicatessen...

294
00:19:48,937 --> 00:19:49,938
hey

295
00:19:50,022 --> 00:19:52,316
...you always look the same way.

296
00:19:53,775 --> 00:19:56,778
You always look out of a window and see nothing new.

297
00:19:59,323 --> 00:20:02,242
I just wanted a place, or a goal.

298
00:20:05,621 --> 00:20:08,290
I think I just needed to go somewhere...

299
00:20:10,459 --> 00:20:14,046
If I landed there, and you knew nothing else,

300
00:20:14,129 --> 00:20:15,631
would you choose me

301
00:20:16,882 --> 00:20:18,258
did you say welcome

302
00:20:23,597 --> 00:20:26,308
I love my family. They are my everything.

303
00:20:28,143 --> 00:20:29,978
But I decided to go.

304
00:20:52,334 --> 00:20:54,169
[The sound of the bird of prey screeching]

305
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:00,884
[Brett] Chris moved from New York to Phoenix,

306
00:21:00,968 --> 00:21:03,762
Not because I've always wanted to go to Phoenix.

307
00:21:03,845 --> 00:21:05,722
or "I've always wanted to go to the desert."

308
00:21:06,598 --> 00:21:08,517
In my opinion, it was more like aimless fun.

309
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:12,020
And he had no grand plan for what he wanted to do.

310
00:21:12,938 --> 00:21:14,648
It was a kind of accident.

311
00:21:16,191 --> 00:21:18,360
[Chris] When I moved to Arizona,

312
00:21:19,111 --> 00:21:21,238
I couldn't tell what exactly I needed.

313
00:21:21,738 --> 00:21:25,325
I didn't even know what I needed. It was a matter of survival.

314
00:21:25,409 --> 00:21:27,744
[guitar music plays]

315
00:21:29,288 --> 00:21:30,747
[Chris] I found an apartment.

316
00:21:31,456 --> 00:21:34,334
I didn't know much, but I could make mozzarella in my apartment.

317
00:21:36,962 --> 00:21:39,089
I was selling it like a contraband.

318
00:21:43,593 --> 00:21:46,471
[Ed] Chris goes door to door with mozzarella

319
00:21:46,555 --> 00:21:48,807
which he had learned to make in Mike's Deli,

320
00:21:49,391 --> 00:21:51,810
And he tries to sell to Italian restaurants.

321
00:21:53,020 --> 00:21:55,147
This is absolutely crazy.

322
00:21:56,523 --> 00:21:58,859
But Chris was like that.

323
00:22:03,030 --> 00:22:04,740
[Chris] I'd come with mozzarella,

324
00:22:05,490 --> 00:22:06,742
They paid in cash.

325
00:22:12,622 --> 00:22:14,291
And then I got this opportunity

326
00:22:14,374 --> 00:22:16,835
To make pizza in the back of a grocery store.

327
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:21,965
All this commotion occupied my mind and body so much

328
00:22:22,049 --> 00:22:24,134
I couldn't think of anything else.

329
00:22:27,846 --> 00:22:29,681
It helped me to go in a good way.

330
00:22:34,227 --> 00:22:38,440
I felt like I could take the hype and maybe use it more.

331
00:22:38,523 --> 00:22:40,233
Let me expand that horizon a little.

332
00:22:48,075 --> 00:22:50,660
[rooster sound]

333
00:22:55,624 --> 00:22:57,626
[Man] These are our lemon cucumbers.

334
00:23:00,044 --> 00:23:00,504
[Chris] You know my favorite.

335
00:23:01,463 --> 00:23:04,383
You know what's interesting? This is like life itself.

336
00:23:04,466 --> 00:23:06,802
You look from above, you don't see much.

337
00:23:06,885 --> 00:23:08,845
- You have to go there.
- [Man] That's right.

338
00:23:10,555 --> 00:23:11,848
These little guys here.

339
00:23:11,932 --> 00:23:14,601
- Look at this. it is there
- This is the money maker.

340
00:23:14,684 --> 00:23:15,519
yes

341
00:23:21,108 --> 00:23:23,026
[Chris] It just takes... nothing, really.

342
00:23:23,110 --> 00:23:25,529
- [man laughs]
- It doesn't get better than this.

343
00:23:25,612 --> 00:23:28,532
Again, you plant, I'll try not to spoil it.

344
00:23:30,700 --> 00:23:33,286
[Ed] After several years in the grocery store,

345
00:23:33,370 --> 00:23:36,581
Chris moved to Santa Fe

346
00:23:36,665 --> 00:23:40,377
And he worked in a classic restaurant in northern Italy.

347
00:23:41,086 --> 00:23:43,713
In the old days of restaurants with white tablecloths,

348
00:23:43,797 --> 00:23:46,299
Raw materials come from far away.

349
00:23:47,092 --> 00:23:50,554
Like, "Oh, let's get our asparagus from France."

350
00:23:52,055 --> 00:23:55,725
But across the street, David Tennis had this restaurant,

351
00:23:56,309 --> 00:23:58,270
And they said, "Why?"

352
00:23:58,353 --> 00:24:02,566
"We only make food from the blessings around us."

353
00:24:04,025 --> 00:24:07,529
For Chris it was like, "Wow, that's pretty cool."

354
00:24:08,196 --> 00:24:10,198
[soft music plays]

355
00:24:10,949 --> 00:24:12,242
[Chris] It was late summer.

356
00:24:12,325 --> 00:24:14,995
In Santa Fe, I was making a market salad.

357
00:24:15,704 --> 00:24:18,290
There was a wonderful agricultural community there.

358
00:24:18,373 --> 00:24:22,627
But this particular time, there were some cucumbers but nothing else.

359
00:24:23,753 --> 00:24:26,423
One of the cooks was Rocky from Sinaloa, Mexico.

360
00:24:26,506 --> 00:24:29,134
And he had bright red hair and was very kind.

361
00:24:30,093 --> 00:24:33,346
I remember Rocky saying to me, "You're so stupid."

362
00:24:34,264 --> 00:24:37,142
"Look at all those car greens (Verdolaga) next to that junkyard."

363
00:24:37,225 --> 00:24:39,478
"All foreigners are just rejected."

364
00:24:42,898 --> 00:24:45,233
I said, "Well, man, what are we going to do with it?"

365
00:24:46,776 --> 00:24:50,238
Rocky told me to take an onion (sebola) and a cucumber (pepino).

366
00:24:54,534 --> 00:24:56,745
I tasted it. It almost tasted like okra.

367
00:24:58,663 --> 00:25:00,373
And it was so magical.

368
00:25:02,209 --> 00:25:03,919
It was a dream.

369
00:25:04,794 --> 00:25:06,838
What do we trample in our gardens?

370
00:25:09,216 --> 00:25:13,595
[Ed] Chris learned that it's not about manipulating raw materials.

371
00:25:13,678 --> 00:25:19,559
The issue is finding the best raw materials around us.

372
00:25:20,143 --> 00:25:24,940
This is where Chris Bianco's pizza philosophy was born.

373
00:25:36,785 --> 00:25:39,663
- [Chris] There's nothing like that smell.
- [Male Salesman] No, not at all.

374
00:25:47,003 --> 00:25:49,631
[Chris] Unleash the dogs, baby. free the dogs

375
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,265
- [Saleswoman] How are you?
- What's up?

376
00:25:58,348 --> 00:26:00,767
- So, I want a full one.
-[Sellers] A whole dune?

377
00:26:00,850 --> 00:26:02,185
[Chris] Zion will come later

378
00:26:02,269 --> 00:26:04,479
If possible, for example, two cartons of tomatoes.

379
00:26:04,563 --> 00:26:06,940
- [Seller 1] I will leave them aside.
- Ok? you are the best

380
00:26:07,023 --> 00:26:08,942
- [Seller 1] Whatever you want.
- Oh my God!

381
00:26:09,025 --> 00:26:09,985
[Vendors laugh]

382
00:26:10,068 --> 00:26:12,612
- [Seller 1] We love you.
- We love you too. thank you

383
00:26:13,863 --> 00:26:16,575
[Ed] When Chris returns to Phoenix,

384
00:26:17,117 --> 00:26:20,579
He sees how Pizzeria Bianco can be.

385
00:26:21,830 --> 00:26:23,248
And Chris said,

386
00:26:23,331 --> 00:26:25,875
"We start with a blank sheet of paper."

387
00:26:26,918 --> 00:26:29,045
"I raise the stakes

388
00:26:29,129 --> 00:26:32,173
For the ingredients I put on my pizza."

389
00:26:33,675 --> 00:26:38,138
[Chris] The Arizona Department of Agriculture had a statewide list of farms

390
00:26:38,221 --> 00:26:39,639
With local ingredients.

391
00:26:40,807 --> 00:26:43,977
Like dairy products, fruits, vegetables.

392
00:26:44,060 --> 00:26:46,813
And then, suddenly, there was a section of nuts.

393
00:26:46,896 --> 00:26:49,232
And God knows, that part was mine.

394
00:26:49,858 --> 00:26:52,319
Um... [laughs] and I felt at home.

395
00:26:52,402 --> 00:26:55,113
[soft guitar music plays]

396
00:26:56,281 --> 00:26:59,242
[Chris] In the southern part of the state, there are pistachio farms.

397
00:27:00,327 --> 00:27:01,745
And I got some.

398
00:27:06,041 --> 00:27:08,543
I beat them with a mortar and pestle.

399
00:27:11,713 --> 00:27:14,799
Rosemary grows everywhere in Phoenix.

400
00:27:15,425 --> 00:27:16,676
I got some rosemary.

401
00:27:17,177 --> 00:27:18,345
Great piazza.

402
00:27:20,639 --> 00:27:21,973
I baked this pizza.

403
00:27:23,683 --> 00:27:26,186
And... alchemy.
(Alchemy: It means turning ordinary substances into something extraordinary)

404
00:27:29,814 --> 00:27:31,066
[Brett] Rosa's Pizza.

405
00:27:31,149 --> 00:27:35,195
It smells kind of burnt.

406
00:27:35,862 --> 00:27:39,616
It gives the taste and smell of the desert.

407
00:27:41,743 --> 00:27:43,745
I have never eaten a pizza like that.

408
00:27:45,580 --> 00:27:49,042
[Ed] took what he learned working with David,

409
00:27:49,125 --> 00:27:51,086
And applied to pizza.

410
00:27:54,172 --> 00:27:55,924
No one else had done this before.

411
00:27:58,635 --> 00:28:01,513
Rosa was an innovation.

412
00:28:02,681 --> 00:28:04,724
came out of Chris's mind,

413
00:28:04,808 --> 00:28:06,351
And came out of Arizona.

414
00:28:16,611 --> 00:28:18,405
[customers talk]

415
00:28:18,488 --> 00:28:20,824
- Come on Bianco, another one is on the way.
- Yes.

416
00:28:21,950 --> 00:28:22,951
on the way

417
00:28:30,041 --> 00:28:31,167
[Chris] Counter, please.

418
00:28:31,251 --> 00:28:33,253
[customers talk]

419
00:28:37,549 --> 00:28:40,301
[Ed] When Chris opened Pizzeria Bianco,

420
00:28:40,385 --> 00:28:43,221
The menu included six types of pizza.

421
00:28:44,597 --> 00:28:46,224
- Yu.
- [plate sound]

422
00:28:46,307 --> 00:28:50,395
[Ed] Raw materials are combined in innovative ways.

423
00:28:51,938 --> 00:28:53,481
They are all great.

424
00:28:54,899 --> 00:28:57,694
And when people taste the pizza,

425
00:28:58,319 --> 00:29:00,822
to see what it does

426
00:29:01,614 --> 00:29:04,993
Chris Bianco's pizza has become legendary.

427
00:29:05,076 --> 00:29:07,370
[happy music plays]

428
00:29:09,873 --> 00:29:12,375
[Ed] People have been lining up since 10 am

429
00:29:13,501 --> 00:29:16,004
And it didn't open until 5 pm.

430
00:29:16,796 --> 00:29:19,466
They wait for seven hours!

431
00:29:20,133 --> 00:29:21,885
And the weather is hot! This is Phoenix!

432
00:29:22,886 --> 00:29:25,346
It was absolutely crazy.

433
00:29:29,434 --> 00:29:31,478
[Brett] Part of Chris' legend

434
00:29:32,145 --> 00:29:35,023
It was that this product of genius is dead.

435
00:29:36,149 --> 00:29:39,736
He practically cooks every pizza himself. And that's exciting.

436
00:29:39,819 --> 00:29:42,489
I mean, how is this possible?

437
00:29:45,533 --> 00:29:50,705
[Ed] Every critic in this country felt he had to make a pilgrimage

438
00:29:50,789 --> 00:29:52,999
to Pizzeria Bianco,

439
00:29:53,082 --> 00:29:55,084
Otherwise, his life would not be complete.

440
00:29:56,127 --> 00:29:59,798
Chris Bianco was the next best thing.

441
00:30:04,469 --> 00:30:09,390
[Brett] I have not found anyone to question his reputation.

442
00:30:10,975 --> 00:30:12,519
This is rare.

443
00:30:14,646 --> 00:30:18,024
As far as I could tell, he had turned into

444
00:30:19,442 --> 00:30:21,069
America's largest pizza maker.

445
00:30:28,409 --> 00:30:29,953
[Man] This is a grain of wheat.

446
00:30:30,036 --> 00:30:33,873
And here is the flour and germ endosperm.
(endosperm: starchy part of wheat grain)

447
00:30:33,957 --> 00:30:36,835
And this bran. It looks good. It also smells good.

448
00:30:37,961 --> 00:30:39,754
Well, you can do some experiments with this.

449
00:30:39,838 --> 00:30:42,048
And then let's see how the taste profile is.

450
00:30:42,131 --> 00:30:45,677
The opportunity for us is to be a good gateway

451
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:46,886
Towards better flour.

452
00:30:47,637 --> 00:30:51,349
[Chris] Even if we try to deny it, Arizona is a farming state.

453
00:30:51,432 --> 00:30:53,393
Do you want to grind a little?
- Yes, let's go.

454
00:30:56,646 --> 00:31:00,775
[Ed] Chris had apparently reached the top of the pizza mountain.

455
00:31:01,484 --> 00:31:06,739
Everyone wanted to experience the magic of Chris.

456
00:31:08,241 --> 00:31:12,871
And so, he felt enormous pressure to deliver.

457
00:31:12,954 --> 00:31:15,790
[sad music plays]

458
00:31:17,584 --> 00:31:20,628
[Chris] First thing in the morning, people start lining up.

459
00:31:20,712 --> 00:31:23,006
It was like a tent concert.

460
00:31:25,466 --> 00:31:27,760
Cooks come from everywhere.

461
00:31:28,636 --> 00:31:31,931
Some are very cool. Some people came to check you.

462
00:31:33,933 --> 00:31:38,187
People rummaged through our garbage to see what our secret was.

463
00:31:40,023 --> 00:31:42,066
It was as if the stakes had been raised.

464
00:31:42,984 --> 00:31:43,943
The game has started.

465
00:31:44,027 --> 00:31:46,321
[guitar music plays]

466
00:31:46,404 --> 00:31:48,031
[Chris] The more successful I became,

467
00:31:48,114 --> 00:31:50,450
I was more afraid of disappointing people.

468
00:31:52,744 --> 00:31:57,332
Every good thing they said about me made me hold my head down.

469
00:31:57,415 --> 00:31:58,750
work harder

470
00:32:00,043 --> 00:32:01,753
And never leave the kitchen.

471
00:32:04,005 --> 00:32:06,007
I stood in front of the oven every day.

472
00:32:08,176 --> 00:32:10,470
I could be here for 23 hours and a half days.

473
00:32:10,553 --> 00:32:11,512
And someone comes

474
00:32:11,596 --> 00:32:15,808
"I came at 24, man. What's the matter, Mr. Very important?"

475
00:32:18,645 --> 00:32:20,688
A thousand people tell me something positive

476
00:32:20,772 --> 00:32:22,106
And I only hear the negative one.

477
00:32:22,190 --> 00:32:23,691
do you know I only hear that one thing.

478
00:32:26,152 --> 00:32:29,697
I felt like if I could just stand in front of that oven, everything would be fine.

479
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:39,082
I got more crazy about not wanting to let you down.

480
00:32:48,424 --> 00:32:51,094
[donkey sound]

481
00:32:53,429 --> 00:32:56,557
[Man] Come on girls. until the end

482
00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:00,353
until the end until the end

483
00:33:01,688 --> 00:33:03,731
- [Man] We milk them twice a day.
- [Chris] Yeah.

484
00:33:03,815 --> 00:33:05,650
[Man] They give about a gallon of milk a day.

485
00:33:06,651 --> 00:33:10,279
But that one gallon in winter can be almost two kilos of cheese.

486
00:33:10,363 --> 00:33:12,532
- [Chris] That's an amazing return, huh?
- [Man] Yes.

487
00:33:13,032 --> 00:33:14,075
would you like a drink

488
00:33:14,158 --> 00:33:16,494
- Yes, yes. come on man
- I think it is.

489
00:33:16,577 --> 00:33:18,579
- Let me see. oh yeah
- [laughs]

490
00:33:19,455 --> 00:33:22,166
OK! [laughs]

491
00:33:22,250 --> 00:33:24,252
fresh The freshest drink you can get.

492
00:33:26,713 --> 00:33:29,841
[Chris] After six years of working seven days a week,

493
00:33:30,508 --> 00:33:33,136
My health started to suffer.

494
00:33:35,013 --> 00:33:38,474
Being around flour all my life, inhaling it.

495
00:33:39,225 --> 00:33:41,602
My doctor told me that I should take it easy.

496
00:33:42,854 --> 00:33:44,897
Pretend like I'm dying

497
00:33:45,732 --> 00:33:48,276
You know, maybe a part of me was like that.

498
00:33:48,359 --> 00:33:51,279
[Emotional string music plays]

499
00:33:52,488 --> 00:33:54,365
[Brett] Chris is admitted to the hospital.

500
00:33:55,283 --> 00:33:57,076
He is a lifelong asthmatic.

501
00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:59,162
It has something called baker's lung.

502
00:33:59,245 --> 00:34:01,873
Due to exposure to airborne flour and smoke.

503
00:34:02,540 --> 00:34:06,878
Two elements that are absolutely necessary for his life's work.

504
00:34:08,212 --> 00:34:10,256
The doctor tells him, "If you don't want to die,

505
00:34:10,339 --> 00:34:12,133
You should stop making pizza."

506
00:34:18,181 --> 00:34:19,640
[Ed] When you tell Chris Bianco,

507
00:34:19,724 --> 00:34:21,726
"Oh yeah, you can't make pizza anymore."

508
00:34:22,769 --> 00:34:26,981
It's like telling Leonardo da Vinci, "You can't paint anymore."

509
00:34:29,233 --> 00:34:30,485
I was worried about him.

510
00:34:35,031 --> 00:34:36,616
[Chris] I was really burnt out.

511
00:34:39,660 --> 00:34:40,953
I could not sleep.

512
00:34:42,246 --> 00:34:43,498
I could not think.

513
00:34:45,750 --> 00:34:49,045
For me, stopping making pizza means I was disappointing people.

514
00:34:52,215 --> 00:34:54,133
Those days were very difficult.

515
00:34:56,219 --> 00:34:58,054
But I had nowhere else to go.

516
00:35:03,101 --> 00:35:05,520
When I stood in front of the oven all those years,

517
00:35:06,312 --> 00:35:07,605
I felt...

518
00:35:12,860 --> 00:35:14,654
Like part of that feeling of not belonging.

519
00:35:14,737 --> 00:35:16,405
I felt that maybe I belonged.

520
00:35:20,743 --> 00:35:21,953

-Nina Rome, what's up dear?
- [Nina] Hello.

529
00:36:04,245 --> 00:36:06,622
[Mia] Do you want to be on this side? I will help you with the eggs.

531
00:36:09,167 --> 00:36:13,087
[Mia] Like a dinosaur egg. really Exactly like a dinosaur egg.

532
00:36:15,631 --> 00:36:18,301
[Chris] I don't think I was as honest with myself as I could have been.

533
00:36:18,384 --> 00:36:20,136
When I was 19, I felt like I could dig a hole to the center of the earth.

534

When you turn 49,

-Yo, my dear.

00:36:32,106 --> 00:36:33,566
- [Eva] looks like soot.
- It's like soot, isn't it?

538
00:36:37,111 --> 00:36:38,112
[eva] Yes.

539
00:36:39,405 --> 00:36:43,868
[Ed] Health issues caused Chris to reassess.

540
00:36:44,952 --> 00:36:47,038
Maybe there is another way.

541
00:36:48,539 --> 00:36:49,916
The basic question is,

542
00:36:50,791 --> 00:36:55,004
Are Chris's Pizzas still Chris's Pizzas?

543
00:36:55,087 --> 00:36:58,466
With Chris's less hands-on role?
(hands-on: means direct and practical presence)

544

[guitar music plays]

545
00:37:02,929 --> 00:37:05,139
[Mia] understood that this was not sustainable.

546
00:37:05,806 --> 00:37:09,018
He had to learn to let people help him.

547
00:37:14,315 --> 00:37:15,483
[Chris] I started delegating.

548
00:37:16,359 --> 00:37:17,735
I learned to trust people.

549
00:37:19,528 --> 00:37:21,322
I started looking at things with new eyes.

550
00:37:24,408 --> 00:37:27,036
I was able to go back and get inspired again.

551
00:37:27,620 --> 00:37:30,790
To give strength to others, and to see their strength.

552
00:37:34,043 --> 00:37:36,671
[Brett] was discovering new ways of being.

553
00:37:39,131 --> 00:37:41,509
He tried to see himself more as a restaurateur.

554
00:37:43,928 --> 00:37:46,889
He was getting used to this idea

555
00:37:46,973 --> 00:37:49,517
that pizzas can be wonderful if he doesn't make them himself.

556
00:37:53,479 --> 00:37:55,648
[Ed] It was a difficult few years there.

557
00:37:57,108 --> 00:38:00,736
But over time, he controlled his asthma.

558
00:38:03,030 --> 00:38:04,991
[Chris] This was the inspiration I needed.

559
00:38:06,659 --> 00:38:08,869
You start thinking, "Now what?"

560
00:38:09,704 --> 00:38:11,372
"What can I do differently?"

561
00:38:12,665 --> 00:38:15,501
I wanted to open a restaurant without the name "Bianco" in it.

562
00:38:16,794 --> 00:38:19,505
That I don't have to be that person from the beginning.

563
00:38:19,588 --> 00:38:22,550
I could have started as a ghost behind the car.

564
00:38:23,426 --> 00:38:25,052
OK, let's try. Let's see what we did.

[Brett] Terrato becomes Chris's first attempt

567
00:38:55,499 --> 00:38:58,169
To create something that is not a pizzeria.

568
00:39:00,087 --> 00:39:01,630
Since its inception,

569
00:39:01,714 --> 00:39:04,425
The business model did not need to be behind the stove.

570
00:39:10,389 --> 00:39:12,641
[Chris] You say, "Well, how can I affect the game?"

571
00:39:13,851 --> 00:39:15,102
I know the game.

572
00:39:15,603 --> 00:39:19,315
I understand the game. I played at the highest level.

573
00:39:20,024 --> 00:39:23,611
So how can I serve to do the most good?

574
00:39:25,363 --> 00:39:28,282
[Brett] Terrato is where he taught himself

575
00:39:28,366 --> 00:39:33,120
Being a leader is something that must be accepted.

576
00:39:34,288 --> 00:39:37,833
He wanted to show himself that this would be okay.

577
00:39:39,502 --> 00:39:41,837
[Chris] allowed me to focus on others.

578
00:39:43,130 --> 00:39:47,093
Changing my role, that I have a role in guiding them.

579
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:50,721
Putting people in a position to succeed

580
00:39:51,305 --> 00:39:54,100
And giving the next generation a chance.

581
00:39:55,309 --> 00:39:57,228
My role was to just not screw it up.

[guitar music plays]

583
00:40:02,983 --> 00:40:06,153
[Brett] People still think of Chris as a great pizza chef.

584
00:40:06,779 --> 00:40:09,698
But Terrato, in turn, is a great success.

585

Everything he tried to prove, he proved.

586
00:40:15,121 --> 00:40:18,416
[Chris] I realized that if something I did was special,

587
00:40:19,083 --> 00:40:21,502
It was never standing in front of the oven.

588
00:40:23,295 --> 00:40:29,635
This was also the farmer, the grinder, the dough we made the night before.

589
