I'm not a TV guy. I'm a restaurant chef and a businessman.

Music is one of those things that is constantly going in my head all the time. It's sort of like the evolution and creation of doing food, or my philosophy about wine. It's always beating in my head, so it keeps the spirit moving.

I've always done food that can work in a set time frame. The message I'm trying to get across is, it doesn't have to take three days to do this. With planning, you can do a lot and really have quality food every day.

One big reason I do what I do is there's no two days alike. It's not work for me. It's my life. My passion.

Anything made with love, bam! -it's a beautiful meal.

Wrap fish fillets, sliced veggies, and other quick-cooking items inside foil packets with bundles of fresh herbs and throw them directly on the grill; the steam will release the herb's perfume and flavor anything contained inside the pouch.

Life just doesn't hand you things. You have to get out there and make things happen. that's the exciting part.
