I'm away 250 days a year. It's a tough situation.

Every chef I know, their cholesterol is through the roof. And mine's not so great.

At the end of the day, the TV show is the best job in the world. I get to go anywhere I want, eat and drink whatever I want. As long as I just babble at the camera, other people will pay for it. It's a gift.

I don't like to see animals in pain. That was very uncomfortable to me. I don't like factory farming. I'm not an advocate for the meat industry.

I'm a decent cook; I'm a decent chef. None of my friends would ever have hired me at any point in my career. Period.

I admire people who do things that are interesting to them, who don't have a strategy or a master plan or have a brand - I don't care about any of those things.

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