America was built on immigrants, and what they bring 'to the table.'
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.
The sharing of food is like breaking bread, it's very symbolic.
I created 'Dinner: Impossible' with a guy named Bryan O'Reilly and I shot the pilot as a 30 minute show and we sold it.
Food is culture, and we need to listen to it.
What I learned about America is that anything is possible, but sometimes people get into businesses they shouldn't be in. They go in without capital or know how, but their mothers had told them that they could cook, and they're good with people.
