It's Okay To Play With Your Food.

I Moved To Louisiana To Become The Executive Chef At Commander's Place. And I Must Say I Had Some Encouragement From Friends Such As Ella Brennan, The Queen Of The New Orleans's Culinary Set, And Others. This Was Very Flattering To A Young Man With A Dream. I Was Only 26 Years Old.

Many Of My Staff Have Been With Me For Over 20 Years. I Have A Great Team, And I Make Sure They Feel Respected And Appreciated.

Home Base Is The Support System Where We Have A Culinary Team, My Own Writers Because Of The Shows And The Books And Stuff, We Have A Culinary Team Of About Six People. Marketing, Public Relations, Accounting And All That Sort Of Stuff.

One Big Reason I Do What I Do Is There's No Two Days Alike. It's Not Work For Me. It's My Life. My Passion.

I Don't Limit Myself.
