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

I love eating out. I don't deny that. But I don't want 12 or 15 courses because the chef wants me to taste this or taste that. I just want to be able to decide.

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.

I swim like a fish and I have an amazing kick.

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

It's amazing. Long Island, I don't know really. It's quite a fascinating area.

I was a naturally aggressive left-back, a cut-throat tackler.
