In An Ideal World For Me, School

I Have Very Good Knife Skills. I Learned To Butcher On My Second Job - I Was 18 Years Old. Every Other Day We Would Break Down Six Legs Of Veal.

When I Was 26, 27 Years Old I Was Running A Kitchen In New York, And I Was A Raving Lunatic. The Older You Get, You Figure Out You Don't Need To Do That. You Realize At A Certain Point, There's A Certain Gravity To What You Say And What You Do. If That's Not Enough, All The Yelling In The World Is Not Going To Matter.

I Think The Patterns Are Set Very Early When The Kids Are Young. But At The Same Time, There Are Some Flavors Kids Just Don't Like.

I Travel Around And Hear From So Many Kids. Their Parents Say They Were Always Very Picky But They Watch The Show And They Want To Try Stuff. The Show Is Entertainment, But I Think It Has Done So Much For The Public Perception Of What Food Can Be.

I Can't Deal With A Lot Of Spice But I Have To Eat It. I Pay The Price - I'm On Medication For Heartburn, So That's How I Deal With It.
