I'm Gay, And I Was Born This

I Launched Chefs For Humanity, A National Nonprofit, With My Voice, Heart And Money From My Own Pocket. Money Gives You The Ability To Make A Difference In The World And, When Used In A Positive Way, Is A Lot Of Fun.

I Use A Lot Of Fresh Citrus, Garlic, And Fresh Herbs When Cooking To Cut Down On Fat And Sodium But Punch Up Flavor. Our Cupboards And Fridge Are Full Of Condiments - Mustards, Vinegars, Etc. That Also Add Tons Of Flavor But Are Low In Fat, Calories, Or Other Processed Additives.

I Think People Are More Savvy About Cooking, Food And Dining. I Notice They Are Looking For More Value For Their Money - Not In Larger Portions But More In Terms Of Healthier, Fresh, Farm-to-table Dishes With A Nice Presentation.

The Thing About Being At Home Versus Being Out In The World Working Is, It's A Whole Different Vibe. When I'm Home With My Kids And Partner, I Will Cook - Even Though She's A Very Good Cook. She's Learned Over The Years. We Started With Basics, You Know, How To Saute Onions, How To Saute Mushrooms.

My Humanitarian Work Evolved From Being With My Family. My Mom, My Dad, They Really Set A Great Example For Giving Back. My Mom Was A Nurse, My Dad Was A School Teacher. But My Mom Did A Lot Of Things For Geriatrics And Elderly People. She Would Do Home Visits For Free.
