Eating is one of the most important aspects of living. I like indulging. I like to eat one food at a time, to savor each individual thing.

I've paid my price, a high price, I watched my mother die. I look at everything I've been given now as a form of compensation. A person who has regrets is a person who casts anchors.

I have no regrets in my life. If not for the mistakes that I made I would not be the man I am today.

The more I invested in myself, the kinder I was to myself and the more I understood myself.

You have to shout in the kitchen to deliver the orders, to drive the troops, to get the food out. When you have a table of eight courses and everyone's having something different, you have a 15-second window to get it all together so no one at the table waits.

I like things that are educational and educational. I like things that are inspirational.

Once you accept you are being judged by people who have less knowledge than yourself, then what's it worth?
