A Gastronomical Supermeal Didn't Necessarily Have To Involve The Things I Had Brought From Other Top Kitchens.

I Can't Crack Jokes Because I Don't Have Any.

21 Years Ago When I Started Cooking, To Be A Cook Meant That You Were Going To Stay In The Basement. Being A Chef, You Would Never Be On A Book Tour. You Could Never Dream That 20 Years Later On You Would Be On A Book Tour. It Wasn't A Part Of Your Dreams Because It Was Just Totally Unrealistic. When Did Cooks - Restaurant Cooks, Not Cooks That Have 15,000 Television Shows - When Did Cooks Become Part Of Pop Culture The Way They Are?

I've Never Had Anything But The Freedom To Do What I Wanted Just As Long As It Made Me Happy.

Cooking, I Mean, Food, Cooking Foods Is Just Everything That I Do From Morning To Night. It's How I Choose To Live My Life: Through Cooking, People That Are In Food Culture. And I Love It.
