I Get A Lot Of My Inspiration

Kids Want To Saute, To Cut The Pizza, To See How The Ingredients Come Together. If You Let Them Do The Fun Stuff, They'll Develop Skills And Interests That Will Stay With Them Forever.

My Philosophy Is "where Is It Written That At 40 You Give Up All Your Toys?" If I'm Still Having A Great Time Doing Something, I'm Going To Keep On Doing It.

Preparing Food Is One Of Life's Great Joys, But A Lot Of Times, Parents Ask Their Kids If They Want To Cook With Them And Then Tell Them To Go Peel A Bag Of Potatoes. That's Not Cooking - That's Working!

Cooking Is Like Snow Skiing: If You Don't Fall At Least 10 Times, Then You're Not Skiing Hard Enough.

I Know How Lucky I Am. I Never Take It For Granted. In This Country [usa], Anything Can Happen - Anybody Can Be What They Want To Be. All I Ever Wanted Was To Be A Good Husband And Father, A Good Chef, And To Have My Own Restaurant. And The Celebrity Was Never Expected. Wouldn't Have Even Dared Dream Of It. And Here I Am. So Anyone's Dreams Can Come True. And I'm Very, Very Grateful For Everything That's Come My Way. I Thank Everyone Who Enjoys What I Do.
