00:00:03.279 --> 00:00:06.240
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to Connoisseur's Corner. Jordan here talked in our previous

2
00:00:06.240 --> 00:00:10.199
<v Speaker 1>segment with Anthony Cattarano, the owner of Presa restaurant located

3
00:00:10.199 --> 00:00:12.519
<v Speaker 1>on Fleet Street in the North end of Boston. We

4
00:00:12.560 --> 00:00:14.919
<v Speaker 1>talked a bit about the amazing food. What's the secret

5
00:00:14.960 --> 00:00:18.440
<v Speaker 1>to your success now celebrating your twenty fifth anniversary, Anthony,

6
00:00:18.760 --> 00:00:19.239
<v Speaker 1>I think.

7
00:00:19.039 --> 00:00:22.719
<v Speaker 2>We've always sort of paid attention to the overall picture

8
00:00:22.760 --> 00:00:25.160
<v Speaker 2>and doing what's right for the customer. We try and

9
00:00:25.280 --> 00:00:27.960
<v Speaker 2>hire really good people, and we try and look at

10
00:00:27.960 --> 00:00:30.839
<v Speaker 2>the employees of like a long term investment. You know,

11
00:00:31.079 --> 00:00:32.920
<v Speaker 2>if we make a hire, we tend to pay a

12
00:00:32.960 --> 00:00:36.200
<v Speaker 2>little bit more than everybody else, try and keep employees

13
00:00:36.880 --> 00:00:39.280
<v Speaker 2>at the restaurant and not a lot of turnovers. And

14
00:00:39.439 --> 00:00:41.159
<v Speaker 2>I think what that does it sort of creates some

15
00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:43.799
<v Speaker 2>consistency within the restaurant. So when you come in, you

16
00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:46.159
<v Speaker 2>see a lot of the familiar faces in the wait staff,

17
00:00:46.280 --> 00:00:48.119
<v Speaker 2>and then the people that are cooking your food. They

18
00:00:48.119 --> 00:00:50.399
<v Speaker 2>do that every day. We have a lot of employees.

19
00:00:50.479 --> 00:00:52.600
<v Speaker 2>I've been open twenty five years. We have day one

20
00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:55.920
<v Speaker 2>employees still in the restaurant business. That's not very common,

21
00:00:55.960 --> 00:00:58.799
<v Speaker 2>and I think that's really been one of the differences

22
00:00:58.840 --> 00:01:01.159
<v Speaker 2>that sets us apower from a lot of people. It's

23
00:01:01.200 --> 00:01:04.840
<v Speaker 2>just that overall consistency. We're consistently good, you know, and

24
00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:07.359
<v Speaker 2>I'd rather be consistently good than occasionally excellent.

25
