“College football and NFL football are completely two different animals. While there are similarities to the game, there are as many differences, I believe in particularly skillset.” – Erin Frazier

“This is the joy of immigrants. They bring their flavors, they bring their taste, and they bring that into your community. They’re the most hardworking and the people that bring flavor and love to your community.” – Chef Jonathan Frazier
