If you're from Philly and you're listening to this, please know that the rest of the world looks at Philly and they're jealous of your food. I promise.

Law breaking, graffiti artist, dumb jock that I am, I'm pretty socially conscious.

I love history because when you strip away the social and political aspects, it's really just a bunch of fun stories.

My life just got taken over by my cooking. If you don't have any discipline, which I don't, you can make 10 gallons of chocolate mousse, take a spoonful and another and another, and you won't realize you've eaten like five servings of it. It's just what you do.

If all I hired were cake decorators, our cakes would just look like cakes that people decorate. We do astounding work at Charm City Cakes and to do that you need people who think in astounding ways. Artists just think in different ways.
