I wasn't that great a chef, and I don't think I'm that great a writer.

In fairness, you know, I'm a big believer in if your kid makes noise in the restaurant you should remove the child immediately.

I wanted it to look like real cooking in someone's real home or just so out-of-there bizarre that it would be fun.

One of the things is challenging yourself to do a Rome show when everybody's done a Rome show. To find some aspect of food culture or chef culture that people can look at in a new way.

As you move through this life...you leave marks behind, however small. And in return, life - and travel - leaves marks on you.

I'm not afraid to look like an idiot on TV.

When you have a child you're no longer the star of the movie.
