I really felt that I had accomplished my goals in life. My first passion has always been to be a restaurateur, a good husband and father, and to provide for my family.

I'm a five-seasons griller! Did you know I added a new season? Living in Cali, I'm cooking in the yard all the time. I don't care what the weather is like. My hair is impervious to any kind of dampness, so I don't have too much to worry about.

Kids want to saute, to cut the pizza, to see how the ingredients come together. If you let them do the fun stuff, they'll develop skills and interests that will stay with them forever.

You dont have to eat a whole cheeseburger, just take a piece of the cheeseburger.

I love watching, I love getting all the science about food. That's one of my favorite things.

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

Cooking is like snow skiing: If you don't fall at least 10 times, then you're not skiing hard enough.
