I do not like fancy or chain restaurants. I live for local spots.

To eat well, I always disagree with critics who say that all restaurants should be fine dining. You can get a Michelin star if you serve the best hamburger in the world.

I don't like eating in restaurants.

A lot of country pubs will receive Michelin stars.

I find it an absolute pleasure to read travel guides, especially the Michelin guides, and their description of places I know I'll probably never visit. I spend a large part of my life reading descriptions of restaurants.

I don't go to the cool, trendy restaurants. I go to either the holes in the wall or the super-fancy restaurants where there are no cool people.

I never eat where the hotel recommends. I do my own research and then try the most highly rated options.

I obsess over places I will never live and restaurants at which I aspire to eat.

I don't get to cook in my own restaurant.
