I did go into the Amazonian region of Brazil. They have prehistoric river fish that weigh in at around 600 pounds, which you don’t see anywhere else. And foods that cannot be exported or even found in other parts of Brazil.

Good food and good eating are about risk.

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

I'm evangelical on the subject of some chefs and writers.

Just because I like sushi, doesn't mean I can make sushi. I've come to well understand how many years just to get sushi rice correct. It's a discipline that takes years and years and years. So, I leave that to the experts.

People's choice to become vegan, from people I've spoken to, seems motivated by fear.
