John Conte, the owner of Conte's 1894 Restaurant in Rockland, ME, shares his thoughts on chefs these days: "Chefs today are nothing but a bunch of punks... I hate chefs. They think they invented the stove... You insult me when you call me one, you know... And I'm a fishmonger, not a restaurant operator. I buy fresh fish every day and then I cook it for whoever shows up here at night." [Down East]
