I can’t talk about anything or write about anything if I don’t understand it. So a lot of the stuff that I go through and a lot of the time that I spend is understanding.

I've learned that you shouldn't have preconceived notions about anybody.

I never spoke about politics, with the exception of Election Night.

I'm loyal and very good about giving people opportunities.

Although I don't take myself very seriously, I do take my work extraordinarily seriously.

I say grace. I'm a big believer in grace. I happen to believe in a God that made all the food and so I'm pretty grateful for that and I thank him for that. But I'm also thankful for the people that put the food on the table.

I want to bring things up to room temperature, especially poultry, before I cook it because I want it to cook faster so that there's less moisture loss.
