I've always said that I think females make the best chefs anywhere in the world.

We outsmarted ourselves and raised the bar even higher, I think.

What's frustrating more than anything is when chefs start to cut corners and believe that they are incognito in the way they send out appetizers, entrees, and they know it's not 100 percent, but they think the customers can't spot it.

Being on a soccer pitch is not the same as being in a kitchen when things are going wrong.

In any situation, location is crucial.

Chefs don't do ponytails and we shouldn't do them because I guarantee that whenever there's a discovery of hair in the food, it's guaranteed it's from the chef's ponytail.
