Honestly... I only get starstruck over chefs.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It's wild how chefs have become like rock stars.
Everybody these days wants to be a star, including myself. Don't get me wrong, I'm a chef but you want to market yourself and your projects.
A lot of people call me a celebrity chef, but I don't think that I'm a celebrity. So I want to stay keeping just a chef. That's more comfortable.
I'm not a celebrity chef. I'm a chef that happens to have television shows and a chef that happens to do media.
You're getting to know who the great chefs are through their books.
First of all, I can't really claim to be a great chef.
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.
TV is a deformed vision, an excessive caricature. A chef has to stay an artisan, not become a star.
Chefs are nutters. They're all self-obsessed, delicate, dainty, insecure little souls and absolute psychopaths. Every last one of them.
Chefs don't become chefs just to earn stars - that's not the goal.
