Attitudes Toward Food Have Completely Changed.

Many Chefs Of A Certain Caliber Do Not See Me As A Chef. I Don't Have A Restaurant. They See Me As A Tv Food Personality, Not A Chef. I've Gotten Respect, Trust Me, They Respect Me, But I Think That I Can't Hit That Particular Level Of Respect From Them Until I Have A Successful Vegas Restaurant That Not Only Makes Money But Creates Unbelievable Food And A Fabulous Experience. I Don't Think People Think I Can Cook, And They Don't Think I Know What The Hell I'm Doing.

You Just Need A Little Perspective. Warmed Chocolate Can Give You That.

Everything In Moderation.

I Don't Eat A Lot Of Anything. A Little Bit Of Everything, But Not A Lot Of Everything. Small Meals All Day Long.

I Spent Time At My Grandfather Dino's Gourmet Store Where He Brought In Chefs From Naples To Cook. I Thought Of Them As Rock Stars.
