It's amazing the relationships you forge in a kitchen. When you cooperate in an environment that's hot. Where there's a lot of knives. You're trusting your well-being with someone you've never before met or known.

The better the ingredients, the more farmers I can buy from, the closer I feel to the food I want to make that represents what I care about as a chef.

Food is ever-changing and ever moving forward and getting more and more complex.

My reasons for becoming a chef are somewhat of a cliche. I always loved to eat but it was watching my parents cook that really served as the impetus for my career choice.

I used to sleep with the phone right by my pillow but I'm getting better. Now it sits on the table a few feet away.

Creative risks will always outweigh technical mistakes.
