I'm Working Harder Than Ever Now, And I'm Putting On My Pants The Same As I Always Have. I Just Get Up Every Day And Try To Do A Little Better Than The Day Before, And That Is To Run A Great Restaurant With Great Food, Great Wine, And Great Service. That's My Philosophy.

I've Been Very Fortunate, Because I've Cooked For A Lot Of Actors And Actresses And Musicians. I've Cooked For Presidents And I've Been To The White House.
