I'm Not A Tv Guy.

I Wouldn't Ask Any Of My Employees To Do Anything I Wouldn't Do. And I Work As Hard, If Not Harder Than The Rest Of The Staff, To Set An Example. I Also Believe In Giving My Employees A Lot Of Room To Be Creative And To Express Themselves.

Food That's Beautiful To Look At Seems To Taste Better Than Food That Isn't.

My Family... Always Had The Value Of The Family Table And These Cultural Influences Of Growing Up.

I Started Cooking When I Was About 10. I Have Memories Like When I Was 6 Or 7 With My Mom, And When I Was 12 I Started Getting Real Serious About Cooking.

My Food Is Louisiana, New Orleans-based, Well-seasoned, Rustic. I Think It's Pretty Unique Because Of My Background Being Influenced By My Mom, Portuguese And French Canadian. There's A Lot Going On There.
