When I Come Home From A Shoot,

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!

My Place In Chicago Is A 105 Year Old House, But I Really Like Contemporary Spaces Too, So It's Refreshing And Fun To Be In A Space Where You Can Do Contemporary Things.

People Want Honest, Flavourful Food, Not Some Show-off Meal That Takes Days To Prepare.

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.

For Me, The Kitchen Is The Most Special Room In The House. It's A Place For Adventure - Not Drudgery, But Discovery, Sharing And Showing Off With Friends, Trying New Ideas.
