With all the hybrid stuff and things like that, I think that's a fabulous direction to go with cars in that sense. As someone who grew up around muscle cars, I'll never not be able to not love a muscle car. Not that I don't care about the environment, that's not it. But I adore muscle cars.
Michael SymonAs a chef and someone who's been in the restaurant business for almost thirty years now, if there's one thing I learned early on: Never eat at a buffet.

Michael SymonThe great thing about chefs as celebrities is it gives you a larger stage to let people know how important great food is. You're able to reach a nation.

I used to be in my kitchen six or seven days a week, and for ten years I never even took a vacation.
