I'm from Georgia, and everybody gathers around food in the South.

The best food I've had was actually in catering at 'Single Ladies.' It's insane. I can't live in Atlanta. In fact, even if I'm offered, I'm not sure I could come back for another six months, because I'll just be fat.

I'm from South Georgia, so my mom, she always cooked some dang good food when I was growing up.

I used to work for a catering company - I waitressed for Harry Winston events. I remember being so hungry, I would eat when I was supposed to be catering to other people.

In the South, the food is outstanding. Down south, we eat to get full, and the people up north, they don't do that.

I am a chef through and through. Everything I do - whether it is cooking for kids in Harlem or cooking in a fine dining establishment - all my days are consumed by food.

Let's face it: my life tends to revolve around food, and I love feeding people.

I know, whoever visits my restaurant, they have loved the food.

When I'm on a location, I pick a restaurant that's close and private and eat all my meals there.
