When I'm on television, I think that I appeal to the everyday guy, 'cause that's who I am. The guys who go to the football games on the weekends are my viewers, for sure.

I guess I fell into cooking.

I love the culture of grilling. It creates an atmosphere that is festive but casual.

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.

I can't be on the cheeseburger diet all the time.

For me, it's all about moderation. I don't kick things out of my diet, like carbs. But I'm not going to eat fast food.

My partner and I are looking at several locations on Park Avenue South and Midtown for a new restaurant space.
