Whenever I deal with children or the military, that becomes special to me.

I don't consider myself a rock star chef, I really don't. I cook for a living and I try to help out as many people as I can in my life and that's all I care about. I don't care about the fame of television, I use to a lot.

God does not treat us as our sins deserve, man treats us as our sins deserve.

The military taught me discipline, how to problem solve, teamwork and loyalty, a perfect parallel to the kitchen. If we could take that and bottle it, it would be a amazing thing.

I've never been a competition guy.

I had written two cookbooks, and they had done well, but I wanted to move to fitness, because it's big with me.

America was built on immigrants, and what they bring 'to the table.'
