Don't try to be the next Rachael Ray or Bobby Flay, we already have those people. We want someone who is going to make their own mark on 'Food Network.'

I don't consider myself a rock star chef, I really don't. I cook for a living and I try to help out as many people as I can in my life and that's all I care about. I don't care about the fame of television, I use to a lot.

I'm not a celebrity chef. I'm a chef that happens to have television shows and a chef that happens to do media.

Rachael Ray is probably the most watched kitchen personality in the history of American television.

I've never considered myself a celebrity or even part of the entertainment business. I'm a cooking teacher.

I'm a total foodie.

I'm a real foodie.

I'm definitely a foodie.

I started cooking for the love of cooking, and I am going to keep cooking whether there's a celebrity aspect to it or not.

I'm not a foodie - I'm an eater: I'm hungry.
