Every meal should end with something sweet. Maybe it's jelly on toast at breakfast, or a small piece of chocolate at dinner - but it always helps my brain bring a close to the meal.

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 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.

The sharing of food is like breaking bread, it's very symbolic.

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 found that most people who buy restaurants should never have done it, because they don't understand money.

Food should be fun, but it should also be functional.
