What I think and what the world thinks is totally different.

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.

I'd like to have the first restaurant that can deliver incredible quality food to your table at your house at any time-right where you live.

In '71 or '72 I returned to New Orleans and stayed there. I started cooking Louisiana food. Of all the things I had cooked, it was the best-and it was my heritage.

Don't get fancy. Have you cooked an apple pie? You don't know what you did wrong? Do this: Take two or three apples. Put them on a table. Study them.

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

Have fun. Do something nobody else had done before, or has done since.
