Having watched the excellent Jiro Dreams of Sushi and seen René on several episodes of The Mind of a Chef, this video is both intriguing and charming.

I'm not sure I fully understand the drive that these men have to better themselves. In all honesty, while I like to think I am self-improving day by day and year to year, I'm sure that some basic level of laziness stops me from progressing as much as I am able.

Also, every time I see Jiro serve sushi it makes me want to snap book a trip to Japan.
