Carson [src]. Early Life. After his discharge, he worked as a hotel waiter. It was while he was a hotel waiter that he first took an interest in cooking.

Series Three When Carson began to lament the need for another footman, O'Brien put forward the name of her nephew Alfred, but Carson immediately dismissed this idea, as he had a society wedding to get through and didn't have the time to train a "hobbledy-hoy".

Many times Alfred displayed an interest and talent for cooking, despite having displayed a total ignorance about food when Mrs Patmore served Edith Crawley 's would-have-been wedding food for the staff supper.

It is revealed that he originally wanted to try for a kitchen job, but that his aunt Sarah had talked him out of it. She told him that few men succeed in this career, most end up taking orders from some red-faced old woman. She believed that he needed to start the career route to being a butler. In the kitchen, he helped Ivy to chop, and proved that he knew how to whip mayonnaise after it had separated. He told Mrs Hughes at the Thirsk fair in , while examining the spices at Jos Tufton 's stall, that he knew cooking was "where I belong.

Alfred walked in on Ivy and Jimmy kissing in Downton's boot room after Daisy told him Ivy was there but did not mention Jimmy even though she knew he was with her. Alfred had earlier learnt of a cooking contest in London where it could mean advanced chef training if one passed, and he began to consider it.

Once he saw Ivy and Jimmy in the boot room, he felt he could never get over it and must leave. By he is mentioned as working at the Ritz. Sarah O'Brien Alfred is quite close to his aunt.

But they do part friends. Gotham closed down for good in March Our first anniversary from opening Portale was November 15th, We originally got the restaurant built very quickly. We took over the space in May , and we were ready to go by the middle of that October in terms of the complete design and the kitchen and everything else.

We had a team lined up. It came down to the wire because we, like many other restaurants, were waiting for our liquor license.

The process was terribly delayed last year. So we got it open, we had a really good end of year, and then January and February and March were just fantastic. Gotham was on 12th Street. I never really thought much about being in the same neighborhood, but it became clear that hundreds and hundreds of our regular guests from Gotham were all from the neighborhood and were thrilled that we were still here.

It was like a party every night. The pandemic was not the reason Gotham shut down. I had seen it coming for months and months and months. I had a certain number of front-of-house staff that worked for me and continued to work at Gotham, so I knew what was going on there, and some of the challenges they had. It was not a surprise, but nevertheless it was very unfortunate.

As early as , when Gotham was plus years old, my partners and I talked about keeping the restaurant relevant, and how we might change and update it, to move it into the present.

It was a big, grand space, a beautiful space, but it was starting to feel a bit dated. We could have tried to make it feel fresher and newer, because the current generation of diners found it to be a little stuffy. We had multiple conversations about what to do and how to update it. The challenge was how to change Gotham enough to make a difference without alienating all of our customers.

I had lots of ideas, but none of them were borne out, unfortunately. It was a lot easier for me as a chef to pivot in terms of the food.

I can keep up with the trends and how people are dining. But to change the music, the design, the service, and all of that—my partners just held that too closely. It was much harder to move any of that into a more modern situation. When I left and they radically changed things, then the handwriting was on the wall.

They lost their entire customer base. The way I look at it, I was at Gotham for plus years. They were very, very good years, very rewarding on just about every level. I feel like the team and myself, we accomplished a tremendous amount there. It was very successful, both professionally and financially. After 35 years, some things have to come to an end.

That experience very much drove all of my decisions about Portale. I was intimately involved in every aspect of the design of the restaurant. We shared exactly the same idea—to link the design with the food concept—which started out being sort of Italian-French Riviera, but morphed more into just Italian.

I love midcentury modern design furniture.
