I think that celebrities are just people, like everybody else, and they've got the foodie bug in them too.

When you're out grocery shopping for your family, maybe you can put a can of cat or dog food in your cart and bring it to an animal relief center.

My first memory in life is grilling my thumb to the griddle in our restaurant on Cape Cod.

I think having an animal in your life makes you a better human.

We created a line of pet food called Nutrish that's made to human standards, and 100 percent of the proceeds go to animal rescue. One of our top-tier donors is the ASPCA, and they help us challenge animal shelters all across the country to get more animals placed in homes.
