I could do nothing but Brooklyn shows for the rest of my career, and I could die ignorant.

It's wrong I think, morally and annoying in general, to try to get a kid to be a foodie, so I never even suggested, "Hey baby it's good, maybe you should try it." That never worked for me.

I'm at my most productive before I even have my first cup of coffee. I only get slower and stupider as the day progresses.

If you're training in a combat sport, deliciousness takes a backseat.

When I cook, I generally stick with what I know, what I'm comfortable with, and what I feel I've paid my dues learning, and am good at.

Good food and good eating are about risk.

My daughter takes pride in showing up with stuff that other kids envy or are freaked out by, so I send her to school with grilled octopus.
