Cooking is a subject you can never know enough about. There is always something new to discover.

Most of the time, I grill over high heat. I like things to move fast. I like the sound and smell of a very hot fire. I gravitate towards dishes that you can get on and off the grill as quickly as possible. After a while, you'll know without thinking about it how hot the fire is.

I want to go to college and go back to Georgetown. It's a really cool place.

I'd love to visit Thailand just for the street food and the energy of a city like Bangkok.

I wasn't passionate about food until I'd been cooking for a while. I started long before food became part of the mainstream media. I just wanted to cook, period.

When I’m hiring a cook for one of my restaurants, and I want to see what they can do, I usually ask them to make me an omelette.

Today, when I hire, I look for people who want to be trained and molded.
