From the time I was 8 until now, I've been working. My Social Security is looking solid.

Well, you know, for me, I think Spanish food is festive.

I'm a huge fan of burgers, and they're not my wife's favorite, so we don't cook them at home.

Don't be afraid to adapt new ingredients into your own techniques, and traditional ingredients into new recipes.

I think that a lot of us at home are iron chefs in their own right in that we have to come up with meals real quickly.

I studied cooking in Spain after college.

Some of the best cooks that I've cooked with, whether it's in New York or Chicago or even here in Philadelphia, are actually Ecuadorians. And there's something about their palates that really just inspires me, and has a really deep sense of flavor.
