First of all, I can't really claim to be a great chef.

I wasn't that great a chef, and I don't think I'm that great a writer.

I always had a fantasy of being a chef, because I like kitchen life.

I had no desire to be a chef, but I had a desire to be someone who was heard.

It's very important to me that people who are actual chefs and other professionals in the culinary world, understand that I'm not, and have never held myself out as being, like a CIA trained chef.

My reasons for becoming a chef are somewhat of a cliche. I always loved to eat but it was watching my parents cook that really served as the impetus for my career choice.

I'm actually a really good cook, and people don't believe this about me!

I do have a chef, but I still go out. Sometimes I can still blend in, and sometimes I get a little bombarded. It's the best of both worlds.

I call all chefs 'cooks.' They're all cooks. That's what we do, we cook. You're a chef when you're running a kitchen.
