Food is culture, and we need to listen to it.

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

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.

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.'

I always worked in institutions, I never had a restaurant of my own before, but I have opened over 30 hotels, restaurants and casinos. I understand what it takes to keep them running.
