I think people need more to do in their life if my hair pisses them off.

I believe that there is always something new to learn, in fact, that is one of the three reasons that I chose to become a chef, that my education is never over.

Organizing ahead of time makes the work more enjoyable.

Taste as you go. When you taste the food throughout the cooking process you can make adjustments as you go.

It's not sticky unless it touches itself.

I started in the restaurant business at the age of 19 as a waitress. I loved the atmosphere and the camaraderie of the restaurant business. I loved not having to go to an office. I loved making people happy.

There are many places that people can produce really good food. I wouldn't limit it to an area of the country, it's what the chefs have in them.
