I call all chefs cooks. They're all cooks. That's what we do, we cook. You're a chef when you're running a kitchen.
Tom ColicchioA lot of professions happen to be male-dominated because women drop out at a certain point. It's unfortunate.
Tom ColicchioI know how to make sausage, and now that I've seen how laws are made, I'll stick with sausage.
Tom ColicchioIm not a fan of grilling meat, since that tends to dry it out, and I find grill marks leave a bitter taste. A good steak house will offer different options for preparation, and I would ask them to broil or pan-roast the steak and finish it with butter. It ends up a dark chocolate color and stays very juicy.
