I travel 330 days a year and eat every two and a half hours - I'm a big guy. I always carry a fork, little bottles of spices, and Sriracha. I eat what I feel like eating.

Every time I tour military outlets, I dedicate the food, fitness and set-ups to their service, because it all came to me through the military.

When I'm on the road, I'll break my exercise into a cardio session and a weights session.

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 love working out. It's my release. I've done it since I've been in the military.

The impression that is out there about me is that I'm really hard-nosed, but the people who really know me, know that I am a soft touch.

Every meal should end with something sweet.
