The sting of defeat aside, the experience did make some similarities more apparent. "You can be a shit cook and a great hockey player, or you could be a great hockey player and a shit cook," says Dammann. "The one common thread is that you have to be two or three steps ahead of what you're doing. In the kitchen, you're always thinking of the most efficient way to do something and streamlining it.""You want to get everyone riled up for the big win and it's the same thing in service—you don't want to fuck it up."
