I'm just here and I'm doin' the best I can. If you don't understand that, then what can I do?

I think the most wonderful thing in the world is another chef. I'm always excited about learning new things about food.

I'm a professional cook. I've worked with other cooks from all over the world, but my family is not that way - they're always lived within 25 miles of my hometown!

I'd like to have the first restaurant that can deliver incredible quality food to your table at your house at any time-right where you live.

My mother would put me on a wooden box at the stove and tell me to call her if certain things would happen. Like if the steam turns blue, that is danger!

I don't think life is to be taken too seriously. Take it too seriously, and it'll getcha.

When I travel I normally eat club sandwiches or I bring my own food. When you go into a new town, it's very had to find a good place to eat.
