I'm In A Loft And The Kitchen

Cooking For People Is An Enormously Significant Expression Of Generosity And Soulfulness, And Entertaining Is A Way To Be Both Generous And Creative. You're Sharing Your Life With People. Of Course, It's Also An Expression Of Your Own Need For Approval And Applause. Nothing Wrong With That.

Queer Eye For The Straight Guy Is A Form Of Service Journalism. To Be Successful, I Think It Has To Be A Combination Of A Good Story, It Has To Be Funny, And It Also Needs To Be Packed With Useful Information.

However, I Was A Restaurant Critic At Chicago Magazine Before I Worked At Esquire, And I've Been A Really Enthusiastic Home Cook For A Long Time. It's Just Something I'm Passionate About.

People Who Hardly Ever Cook At All, Suddenly At The Holidays, Feel Like It's Their Responsibility To Not Only Cook Dinner For Large Groups Of People Suddenly, But To Serve Things That Are Fussy Or Fancy Or Formal. And I Don't Think That's What Anybody Really Wants, Especially If You're Not Good At It.

I Like To Have Friends In The Kitchen And Make A Big Mess And Use Every Pot In The Kitchen.
