Take A Trip To The

I Had Turned Down Other Head Chef Jobs. I Didn't Want To Take Over Someone Else's Cuisine. I Wanted To Start From Scratch.

I Would Love To Eat A Really Great Burger, But It Doesn't Exist In Our Part Of The World.

My Last Meal On Earth, I Would Love It To Be A Bowl Of Blueberries With Cold Cream.

21 Years Ago When I Started Cooking, To Be A Cook Meant That You Were Going To Stay In The Basement. Being A Chef, You Would Never Be On A Book Tour. You Could Never Dream That 20 Years Later On You Would Be On A Book Tour. It Wasn't A Part Of Your Dreams Because It Was Just Totally Unrealistic. When Did Cooks - Restaurant Cooks, Not Cooks That Have 15,000 Television Shows - When Did Cooks Become Part Of Pop Culture The Way They Are?

The Drive For Working Comes From Everyday Moments - The Thrill Of Experiencing A Young Cook Succeeding In What They Thought Was An Impossible Job, As Well As Guests Being Happy. I Also Love The Unknown - Discovering New Things And Trying To Make Sense Of Them.
