I can make the best French toast.

My mother likes what I cook, but doesn't think it's French. My wife is Puerto Rican and Cuban, so I eat rice and beans. We have a place in Mexico, but people think I'm the quintessential French chef.

It's a great thing because I've said to my lad, 'What do you want to do today - football, shopping, playing a game?' and he says, 'I want to bake with you, Dad.' And he loves it, baking with me.

I can bake. I made myself some nice French fries once. But otherwise I just eat out. Lots of salad bars.

I love baking.

Since I was a kid, baking has been part of my life.

At my age, I don't buy but a half a loaf of bread, you know?

I went to a restaurant that serves 'breakfast at any time'. So I ordered French Toast during the Renaissance.

The most classic French dessert around the holidays is the Christmas log, with butter cream. Two flavors. Chocolate and coconut. My first job in the kitchen when I was a boy was to make these Christmas logs.
