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

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.

For years - especially in England where I come from - cooking was a subservient job. When I told my Dad I was going to be a cook, he wouldn't talk to me for two years. Even though it was associated with my military service, he thought cooking was beneath me.

The children don't choose to be in the business, but the harming and long-term effects through arguments, divorce and conflicts over the financial issues in a business are huge.

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

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

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