I like television. I still believe that television is the most powerful form of communication on Earth - I just hate what is being done with it.

Slicing a warm slab of bacon is a lot like giving a ferret a shave. No matter how careful you are, somebody's going to get hurt.

I do know I'm a control freak.

I don't like to be polarizing. It's not who I am.

Good service can save a bad meal, but there is no level of food that can save bad service.

Stuffing is evil. Stuffing adds mass, so it slows the cooking. That's evil because the longer the bird cooks, the drier it will be.

I grill almost all of my fish with the skin on because that gives you real protection at least on one side. It's a nice barrier against super high heat which tends to make a lot of fish to turn really flaky. It's very easy to overcook fish on the grill. But I still brush it with oil before I start.
