For years - especially in England where I come from - cooking was a subservient job. When I told my Dad I was going to be a cook, he wouldn't talk to me for two years. Even though it was associated with my military service, he thought cooking was beneath me.

Whenever I deal with children or the military, that becomes special to me.

I found that most people who buy restaurants should never have done it, because they don't understand money.

I created 'Dinner: Impossible' with a guy named Bryan O'Reilly and I shot the pilot as a 30 minute show and we sold it.

The sharing of food is like breaking bread, it's very symbolic.

When I'm on the road, I'll break my exercise into a cardio session and a weights session.

The children don't choose to be in the business, but the harming and long-term effects through arguments, divorce and conflicts over the financial issues in a business are huge.
