The essence of Reality TV is all about drama. So, I think bringing pressure is healthy whether it's a professional chef or a domestic chef. Because the only way ever to really identify the true purpose of how good they are is submerging them under pressure. So I say it's no different than a live football game because it's about the intensity.

Bread Street Kitchen is a big operation, a unique beast, and it needs bedding in.

I spend more time in the kitchen than I have in the dining room, for obvious reasons, however, I just want to sit and indulge.

They say cats have nine lives. I've had 12 already and I don't know how many more I'll have.

Having four kids of my own, fifth one on the way... I think with "Junior," what's happened over the last three years is this program's been implemented across schools.

Push your limit to the absolute extreme.

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.
