MasterChef Junior for me was about working closely with these kids and getting them to reeducate their parents to understand that food is as important educationally as Math and English and it's important that we don't take it for granted.

I suppose more than anything, chefs have gotten better, which is great news, which makes my life a lot easier. I can be a lot more creative in terms of the menu.

I suppose I might be a player-coach nowadays. I'm a great teacher, and I enjoy teaching. But I'm glad I got injured and ended up turning to cooking. It was an accident but the happiest one of my life.

Focus on your customers and make that restaurant synonymous to where you are in terms of area.

Stopping the junk food and Eating well is partially about cooking well and having the skills to do that.

I won't let people write anything they want to about me.

The amount of customers who take pictures before they eat is insane.
