First and foremost, you have to remember that restaurants are businesses and they have to stay in business. And though everyone thinks they want grass fed beef, most people actually prefer the taste of corn fed - it is less dry, more marbled, and less gamey, not to mention much less expensive than grass fed.

I have a mantra in my head that there will always be another meal. I can put my fork down, knowing there will be good things in my future!

I eat for a living, so working out is definitely part of my job, the same way that the eating, tasting, and drinking is.

I run a solid 4-6 miles at a time, and over the last year two years I've gotten really into SoulCycle. It's sort of an evolved form of spinning.

You know, I lose patience really easily; I'd rather shop in the grocery store than in the department store. I can pick an apple like nobody's business.

I would not say I'm an aggressive shopper. I want to be; I aspire to be an aggressive shopper. I am a meek, meek shopper.

The less you do to beautiful food, the better it's going to taste. You don't need to mess with it all the time.
