Celebrity chefs are the leaders in the field of food, and we are the led. Why should the leaders of chemical businesses be held responsible for polluting the marine environment with a few grams of effluent, which is sublethal to marine species, while celebrity chefs are turning out endangered fish at several dozen tables a night without enduring a syllable of criticism? ↗

I'm not a TV guy. I'm a restaurant chef and a businessman. ↗

All chefs are like Jewish mothers. They want to feed you and feed you and impress you. It's an eagerness to please. ↗

During the course of filming 'Top Chef,' I gain 15 lbs., so I'm used to needing two dress sizes. ↗

I have great empathy for all the contestants that come on 'Top Chef,' whether they go home right away or they make it to the finish line. It's a very vulnerable position they put themselves in and I feel for them. ↗

I've been a model for 15 years, and I've been on 'Top Chef' for eight seasons, and before that I had other cooking shows, so I've learned a thing or two about how to camouflage certain areas and how to draw the eye to a preferable area of the body. ↗

Part of my job as a food writer is to describe food. So my work on 'Top Chef,' I feel, is an extension of that. When we give a criticism to the contestant, we want to make sure we tell them why it's not working and why it would work if they did it a different way. ↗

Japanese chefs believe our soul goes into our knives once we start using them. You wouldn't put your soul in a dishwasher! ↗

Maybe one of the only things I do well: I cook like a maniac! I would be a chef if I weren't an actor. ↗

My palate is simpler than it used to be. A young chef adds and adds and adds to the plate. As you get older, you start to take away. ↗
