Many Chefs Of A Certain Caliber Do Not See Me As A Chef. I Don't Have A Restaurant. They See Me As A Tv Food Personality, Not A Chef. I've Gotten Respect, Trust Me, They Respect Me, But I Think That I Can't Hit That Particular Level Of Respect From Them Until I Have A Successful Vegas Restaurant That Not Only Makes Money But Creates Unbelievable Food And A Fabulous Experience. I Don't Think People Think I Can Cook, And They Don't Think I Know What The Hell I'm Doing.

Food Was Always A Big Part Of My Life. My Grandfather Was One Of 14 Kids, And His Parents Had A Pasta Factory, So As A Kid, He And His Siblings Would Sell Pasta Door To Door. After He Became A Movie Producer, He Opened Up De Laurentiis Food Stores - One In Los Angeles And One In New York.
