Vladimir's family was starving, essentially. The experience has left him with a healthy respect for anything put on his restaurant plate. Ribs at County Line were cleaned bare, his lemon from his iced tea eaten, even the parsley.

I think being hungry day and night would stay with you, no matter how old you were while suffering.
