Being a chef is the best job in the world.

I don't run restaurants that are out of control. We are about establishing phenomenal footholdings with talent.

It's fascinating watching the debates [of Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump], with the search for the new president. It's like a car crash, unfolding in front of your eyes. The level of personal attacks!

Chelsea has always been a foodie heaven and it will never change in that respect.

That's what we do on "MasterChef," on "Junior." No school teachers, no parents, let it go. You're going to go on a challenge. We're going to go to hell and back, and we're going to have some bumps.

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

I cook for a living; I'm not a scheduler.
