Put your head down and work hard. Never wait for things to happen, make them happen for yourself through hard graft and not giving up.

Eating out doesn't have to be a formula. Eating out is about having fun. I get really frustrated when it's badly done.

You can't depend on the exposure of a TV screen to keep your feet on the ground and your food tasting delicious. You've got to push yourself.

It has always stood for f***ing great food.

Rude staff, bad lighting, and dirty bathrooms are all signs of a bad restaurant and a good reason to leave a restaurant!

When you're a chef, you graze. You never get a chance to sit down and eat. They don't actually sit down and eat before you cook. So when I finish work, the first thing I'll do, and especially when I'm in New York, I'll go for a run. And I'll run 10 or 15k on my - and I run to gain my appetite.
