You don't have to look far to taste some of the best food the world has to offer. I'd pit my grandmother against a 3-star Michelin chef any day.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
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 go to fancy Michelin-starred restaurants often.
The better the ingredients, the more farmers I can buy from, the closer I feel to the food I want to make that represents what I care about as a chef.
I really feel I have found myself as a chef. It's very clear to me what I want to do - and how it should taste.
I think all chefs who pursue great flavor have good ethics.
My grandfather was a great chef.
Cooking is not difficult. Everyone has taste, even if they don't realize it. Even if you're not a great chef, there's nothing to stop you understanding the difference between what tastes good and what doesn't.
The main thing I look for in a recipe is taste, which is different from caterers and restaurants, who first ask 'How does it look?'
My grandmother was a chef, and she taught me to cook. One day I want a restaurant, a small Italian grill. That's my aspiration.
First of all, I can't really claim to be a great chef.
