What I Go For In My Cooking

A Lot Of Parents Ask Me How To Get Kids To Eat More Vegetables. The First Thing I Say Is That It Starts From The Top.

Get Up Every Day And Try A Little Harder Than The Day Before.

I Respected It. I Submerged Myself Into It. So On A Lot Of Days Off I Would Go And Fish With The Fishermen And The Families That Ran The Boats. I Would Go Work The Fields With Farmers. I Would Go And Talk With Farmers About Growing Particular Products For Me.

My Food Is Louisiana, New Orleans-based, Well-seasoned, Rustic. I Think It's Pretty Unique Because Of My Background Being Influenced By My Mom, Portuguese And French Canadian. There's A Lot Going On There.

I Love To Cook; That's My Passion.
