I got some media coverage for using the tail, the ear, the oink.

Reading is a key feature in the life of every single successful person I have ever met.

I obsess everyday about everything. Not only about what we do well but what we can do better... In the end, the only reason I am motivated to do what I do is for the hedonistic pleasures of the table.

My favorite thing is always a nice, inexpensive draft beer, but if someone wants something a little more complicated than that, then I'd like a Michelada, which is where I take beer and a little bit of either a spicy or not-so-spicy Bloody Mary, mix it like six to one [ratio], so it's kind of a red beer.

I'm a big fan of featuring all of the local shellfish and seafood provided.

My wife Susi and my kids quite simply are the most fun of all my friends.

I don't put cream in any pasta noodles ever. I would use a little butter, but I don't ever use cream.
