I wanted to learn everything I could about what it takes to be a great chef. It was a turning point for me.

I've been a cook all my life, but I am still learning to be a good chef. I'm always learning new techniques and improving beyond my own knowledge because there is always something new to learn and new horizons to discover.

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

I love to talk about cooking and recipes, but I love as much talking about how food and cooking can change the world.

I love to cook, and I've just gotten more and more into it over the years, just because it's the best way to stay creative.

I always knew I wanted to be a chef.

Even though I'm big on recipes, I love to make up my own dishes and when you take a risk in the kitchen, you learn a lot about food!

I love cooking, but I love the business, too. It's important because a lot of chefs forget the business side and have to shut down after six months.

I've always been fascinated by chefs and the worlds of chefs - what they do is incredibly cinematic.

Everybody has their role in the food world and what they choose to appreciate. I'm not a fine dining chef. I appreciate it. I think Thomas Keller is amazing. But I really like where I'm at; I like what I do. I like how it makes people feel.
