I read the whole article end to end - this guy looks like he had a real interest into cooking, was willing to work hard and was able to contribute to the society in terms of a nice highly rated restaurant. It doesn't look like he wanted to draw millions of dollars from day 1 nor that he wanted his restaurant in the fanciest of the places. This should be a very normal thing to do and such people should succeed. Why is our modern day society arranged such that following this straightforward path doesn't help you make the ends meet? Something is very very wrong.
