I don't get to watch a lot of TV. I just do all my news and reading and 'Meet the Press,' all that fun, exciting stuff.
From Graham Elliot
I'm in love with 'pure' flavors, things that are natural and delicious, minimally fussed with, that showcase the season.
Kids see cooking as a creative outlet now, like soccer and ballet. It gives me hope that things like fast food, childhood obesity and the horrible state of school lunches can be addressed by kids and their parents.
I played the guitar and thought that was what I was going to do as a career. I still record music that is played in my restaurants.
Chicago's always been known as this meat and potatoes place, and a lot of restaurants play that up. They try to outdo each other by adding another 10 ounces, so their 80 ounce steak becomes a 90 ounce steak with 10 pounds of mashed potatoes on the side.
Even though I live in and love Chicago, I can't stand deep-dish pizza. I'm a New York-style pizza person.
Weight is something I've battled all my life.
I think that people are getting really excited about different ethnic food, and almost even micro-ethnic food. So it's not just, 'I love Asian,' it's Szechuan or Hunan, this one style from China.
I think the big things for me are trying to keep running and staying active, but not forcing to do one hour or five miles but really going out and doing it until you feel good.
I tried to start my own religion in high school. I was very eccentric. I've always loved attention.
