I'm a professional cook. I've worked with other cooks from all over the world, but my family is not that way - they're always lived within 25 miles of my hometown!

When I travel I normally eat club sandwiches or I bring my own food. When you go into a new town, it's very had to find a good place to eat.

I opened a restaurant that had nothing but California wines.

I wait for the next opportunity to have something to do with food. If I get rested, my mind just starts creating new dishes - click, click, click.

Creole is New Orleans city food. Communities were created by the people who wanted to stay and not go back to Spain or France.

Some people absorb in different ways. I didn't realize until I was 15 years old how much I retained.

When the taste changes with every bite and the last bite tastes as good as the first, that's Cajun.
