When I visit a country, I like to experience local food.

I don't enjoy traveling in America. I don't like the food, the cars. It is not exotic enough. It all tastes a bit like airline food.

I find it very beautiful to work in different countries because I see the mentality differences there. It is so rich, one always carries forward something.

One place I haven't made it to - mainly because it's so far away - is Australia, so I'd love to go there. I've heard great things about Australia and New Zealand.

Going to Southeast Asia for the first time and tasting that spectrum of flavors - that certainly changed my whole palate, the kind of foods I crave. A lot of the dishes I used to love became boring to me.

I based in Brazil, Sao Paulo, but I come very often to the states, and I travel all over the world.

I like to drink to suit my location.

My favorite country is America. I love going there! I go in the local lake near where I work on Sundays. It's called Berry Hill.

New York gives us a wide colour palette to cook from. We have cuisines from around the world, and that lets us pick and choose.

I spent a college semester in a small town in Italy - and that is where I truly tasted food for the first time.
