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

Restaurants are like having children: its fun to make them, maybe, but then you have them for good and bad. You are going to have to raise them and if something goes wrong when they are 30 years old, they will still be your little boy.

Food television opened the eyes, and palates, of our guests. They became more adventurous.

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

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.

The usage of proper salt is really just a small piece of education. However, I want people to really get the proper nutrition from food for them and their family.
