I work out all the time! I don't just sit around and eat burgers whenever I want. Oh, if I could I probably would, but I don't.

I like me better naked. I don't mean that in a vain way... When you put clothes on, you immediately put a character on. Clothes are adjectives, they are indicators. When you don't have any clothes on, it's just you, raw, and you can't hide.

Decide which you want to play up: your clothing or your jewelry, but not both. Let one be the star and one the supporting player.

There are two schools of fried chicken. One is brining in salted water and the other is soaking in either buttermilk or milk. I just combine the two.

During the course of filming 'Top Chef,' I gain 15 lbs., so I'm used to needing two dress sizes.

People always comment about my clothes. They don't think a fashionable woman can love food and be knowledgeable and actually cook.

I love seafood. I'm not a vegetarian but I'm probably a pescetarian.
