You can easily put together your own favorite spice blend, whether that's a salt and pepper mixture or you're adding herbs to it or Creole spice. Just watch out for the sodium content. That why I encourage you to make your own.

You are going to be what you put in your body, so I try to teach that to my kids, and the kids around me.

Kids are now eating things like edamame and sushi. I didn't know what shiitake mushrooms were when I was 10 - most kids today do.

I came here because the city has a tradition and is a very respected food city.

If you think big, then it's going to be big.

Food that's beautiful to look at seems to taste better than food that isn't.

I don't limit myself.
