"With a restaurant, it's more me trying to tell the story of what it is, or weave a tale of what the story of a space is..."

WEDDING BELLS

Alton once opened up about when he and Ingram worked together, explaining how he couldn't remember when the romance began. In "The Best Thing I Ever Ate" star's words, "I started looking forward to seeing her more than the space."
