I believe in America. I'm one of those silly flag wavers.

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

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.

We had no electricity, no gas. Food was probably our greatest entertainment - the most fun thing that we could do was food.

If you have acid in food, you need to sugar it. At a high temperature, the acids are changed to sugar.

I think the most wonderful thing in the world is another chef. I'm always excited about learning new things about food.

We're working people, and that's what we like to do, work.
