My favorite thing about Los Angeles is there are businesses that you can call, and they will deliver groceries to your house.

I think the best restaurants in America should be in California.

I've always liked Atlanta. And not just for the strip clubs, but the shopping and the food.

One nice thing that I have discovered about Los Angeles is the enthusiasm with which people dress.

In L.A., I love the L'Ermitage in Beverly Hills. Also, the Beverly Wilshire, where they make great huevos rancheros. I also love Shutters on the Beach, where I walk around everywhere in a bathrobe.

Many of my friends back in New York and elsewhere have a glib or dismissive attitude toward Los Angeles. It's a place of strip malls and traffic and not much else, in their opinion.

I've gotten super into restaurants in L.A., so I try to go to different restaurants all the time... that's a good way to explore L.A.: you can drive to a restaurant and discover a new neighborhood.

I have eaten very well in Los Angeles. Marvelously!

Mel's Diner in L.A. - they are my favorite hamburgers. I could eat there every day. They are ridiculous.

I spend so much time in Los Angeles and normally stay at a corporate apartment when shooting 'Top Chef: Just Desserts,' but when I have the chance to stay somewhere more luxurious, I love The Montage in Beverly Hills.
