I liked the energy of cooking, the action, the camaraderie. I often compare the kitchen to sports and compare the chef to a coach. There are a lot of similarities to it. ↗

I love celery and people don't use it a lot. Celery and flavors in that family - it really brightens and is refreshing. ↗

I try to get them working. My older son is 10 and he's pretty interested. We had a dinner party the other night and he helped a lot. He helped peel asparagus; he hung out. It was great. ↗

I've got a really great team around me. They're the ones that are in the restaurants on a day to day basis. Anyone that's good can't be stifled in any way. I don't baby people. ↗

Spices are very hot, very hip. I love spices. I've always loved the Mediterranean flavors. ↗

Turkey, unlike chicken, has very elegant characteristics. It has more of a cache than chicken. Turkey is a delicacy, so it should be presented in such a way. ↗

We have a training period; we have certain guidelines and structure. You can't hire talented people and stifle them. That's not the way it works anymore. ↗
