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

I can't grill vegetables, shellfish or steaks without tongs. Don't bother with those long-handled grilling tongs normally found in the BBQ section of your home store. Get intimate with your grill and opt for the regular stainless steel tongs.

I spend 80% of my time in my restaurants. Taping my TV shows doesn't take much time, and then they get aired a lot. That's the thing people don't realize.

I guess I fell into cooking.

I dropped out of high school. I really had no interest in doing any school work whatsoever.

Grilling outside with my parents at the Jersey shore. We would grill lobster and corn in the summer.

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