A grill is just a source of heat. Just like a stove, it is very user-friendly.

I think a lot of times people design restaurants with flash in mind. I think you should design restaurants with function in mind. Make sure it's functional and works with what you're trying to accomplish. Design can come later.

I think New York has the most diverse and best quality representation of so many different cuisines at all levels.

I guess I fell into cooking.

You have to have your face in the food. These days people think a tattoo and a bottle of Sriracha equals success.

I love using gas grills because they are easier to heat and it's much easier to control the flames with a gas grill than with a charcoal fire. Grilling is not just about lighting a fire.

I still love making hamburgers on the grill. I guess whenever I eat them childhood memories come up for me.
