The Best Way To Learn Is Live,

If I Have Committed Any Culinary Atrocities, Please Forgive Me.

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.

It's Very Important To Me That People Who Are Actual Chefs And Other Professionals In The Culinary World, Understand That I'm Not, And Have Never Held Myself Out As Being, Like A Cia Trained Chef.

I Had A Really Good Time With Martha Stewart, Who Also Is Somebody I Really Admire A Lot. I've Learned A Lot From Her And I Think All Of America Has, About Attention To Detail And Using Fresh Ingredients And Making Things Beautiful And Special.

I Went In Saying I Wanted To Be The Food Guy.
