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

The first time I was cooking for my wife, Stephanie, way before she was my wife, I actually put three chickens on the rotisserie and I closed the grill, which is really a bad idea. But I just wasn't thinking very straight that day. And I looked outside and I saw, like, smoke and flames.

Nobody believed the 'Food Network' could last. Even I was short sighted and thought to myself, 24 hours of food on TV? They'll run out of things to talk about in four days! But that wasn't true. 'Food Network' continues to get better and evolve.

I think everybody at some point in time has thought to themselves, "I have a really great idea for a restaurant."

It's important to have balance in your life between work and play.

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

Go vegetable heavy. Reverse the psychology of your plate by making meat the side dish and vegetables the main course.
