I want to teach people how to do it the right way. And it is from that they can teach their children how to do it properly. It will teach them how to cook better and healthier at home.

Nutrition is just so important to me, mostly especially for children.

It is so nice to talk to someone that has a passion for food and family.

Now everybody thinks that once you do Top Chef, then 13 weeks later you're a chef. Nobody wants to learn to cook anymore.

It's an interesting thing, Top Chef. Some of the contestants will make you one great dish, and then make you something on the next show that will make you say, "Is that the same person?"

One thing I always say is being a great chef today is not enough - you have to be a great businessman.

I learn more from the one restaurant that didn't work than from all the ones that were successes.
