The culture of modern Spain is something many people are still discovering.

Americans should be receiving one plate a day of hot food. That's not too much to ask in America. An MRE is very expensive for the American taxpayer. A hot meal is more affordable, it's cheaper. It's what people really need, it's what people really want. They feel all of a sudden that you are caring for them, that America is caring for them.

There is nothing better than picking up sun-warmed tomatoes and smelling them, feeling them and scrutinizing their shiny skins for imperfections, dreaming of ways to serve them.

I think every chef should have a food truck. It's a good way to test the markets, to invest in meeting the future restaurant goers.

Every time I open a bottle of wine, it is an amazing trip somewhere.

I work with companies like Audiostiles to put together mixes for my restaurants. I even created a soundtrack for my television show.

I'm always looking to the future and what will next be on the horizon.
