You've got balls inviting me here.

I get a lot of my inspiration from my family, but I never got to meet my dad's dad.

Liver is my number one most hated food. Oh, God, I get sick talking about it!

Preparing food is one of life's great joys, but a lot of times, parents ask their kids if they want to cook with them and then tell them to go peel a bag of potatoes. That's not cooking - that's working!

Lots of people make fun of me, but the truth is I'm just a man. I like food, I like people, and I like making people happy with food. I have a wife; I have two sons. I love them more than anything. Sure, my TV personality might not be for everyone, but that's okay. I just want to live my life. Please, leave me in peace. I am a man. I have dignity. I am a man.

It's never too late to get good at something.

I'm a "what you see is what you get" kind of guy. I don't have any time to be showing anybody any bag of tricks.
