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.

If you're cooking and not making mistakes, you're not playing outside your safety zone. I don't expect it all to be good. I have fat dogs because I scrap that stuff out the back door.

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 don't know what singers feel like when they make a song and people clap along and love it, but when people walk up to me and say the food was outstanding, that's what it is all about. I cook because I like to make people happy.

No matter how tough the meat may be, it's going to be tender if you slice it thin enough.

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.
