The Premise Of 'the Originals' Are Places

I Like To Keep Things Simple. It's Really About The Wine, Food And The Beach View. Nothing Can Beat That.

I Spent A Lot Of Time On Farms When I Was Young. My Uncle And My Dad Owned A Big Farm.

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.

I've Been Very Fortunate, Because I've Cooked For A Lot Of Actors And Actresses And Musicians. I've Cooked For Presidents And I've Been To The White House.

Cleanliness Is Very Important. If You Let Kids Make A Total Mess In The Kitchen And Then Leave, You're Not Really Teaching Them Anything.
