A lot of restaurants serve good food, but they don't have very good service.

For me, I don't expect to have a really amazing meal each time I dine out. Having a good meal with your loved ones - that's what makes the experience.

It is going to have healthy food and exercise mixed together. With smaller portions, and more exercise, you live a better life.

I like the Japanese knives, I like French knives. Whatever's sharp.

I would say that I mostly use Kosher Salt for seasoning my water and flour. I love sea salt, too. I think both are just fine, as long as it's not iodized salt.

I grew up so poor in Austria that we never took a vacation with my family.

Young people want to be famous before they know how to cook, before they know how to treat people, before they know what hospitality means. I stayed in France for seven years and Austria for three, so before I was a chef anywhere I was already cooking for 10 years.
