It's Not Sticky Unless It Touches Itself.

I Started In The Restaurant Business At The Age Of 19 As A Waitress. I Loved The Atmosphere And The Camaraderie Of The Restaurant Business. I Loved Not Having To Go To An Office. I Loved Making People Happy.

There Are Many Places That People Can Produce Really Good Food. I Wouldn't Limit It To An Area Of The Country, It's What The Chefs Have In Them.

I Always Use My 'holy Trinity' Which Is Salt, Olive Oil And Bacon. My Motto Is, 'bacon Always Makes It Better.' I Try To Use Bacon And Pork Products Whenever It Can.

I Love The Simplicity, The Ingredients, The Culture, The History And The Seasonality Of Italian Cuisine. In Italy People Do Not Travel. They Cook The Way Grandma Did, Using Fresh Ingredients And What Is Available In Season.

I Believe That If You Have Good Organizational Skills, Then Creativity Can Come Out Of That, But It's Hard To Be Really Creative When Everything Is A Mess. And In A Restaurant, Organizational Skills Are Imperative.
