What I Bring To The Table Is

I Think That Curiosity Happened On These Reviews Where I Was Just A Guest Of The Reviewer, Because It Introduced Me To New Cuisines And To The Idea Of Cooking As A Mechanism For Studying Other Cultures And Understanding Other Parts Of The World.

A Friend Told Me About The Casting Notice For 'queer Eye.' I Was In Chicago And I Had A Contract With 'esquire' Magazine, So Had Been Coming To New York City Regularly And Thought I'd Catch A Cheap Flight, Crash On A Friend's Sofa And Do This Hilarious Audition That I Had No Chance Of Winning.

Queer Eye For The Straight Guy Is A Form Of Service Journalism. To Be Successful, I Think It Has To Be A Combination Of A Good Story, It Has To Be Funny, And It Also Needs To Be Packed With Useful Information.

When The Idea Of 'chopped' Surfaced, It Was Originally Meant To Be Taped At Some Guy's Mansion With Him And His Crazy Chihuahua. A Stuffy Fellow In A Tuxedo Was To Host, And The Losing Chef's Dish Was Then Fed To The Dog! I Am Not Kidding, I Saw It! I Think It Is Genius! Twisted, But Genius!

What I Bring To The Table Is A Huge Enthusiasm And Love For This Stuff.
