I get nervous cooking for our little house party barbecues. I'm very insecure with my cooking. I tend to throw things away that I'm scared of serving, even though they might be great.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I try to avoid barbecue potato chips. They're my weakness.
I mean, I can cook, but I'd get very nervous having my food being judged by dinner guests.
Barbecue is the good old technique of people making a fire and putting some stuff over the top - I mean, look at the S'more: it's just got a stick. A lot of those goofy toys, it's people who are looking at things to do. I think if you focus on the food, at the most you need tongs or a spoon to flip something; that's about it.
People come up to me all the time and say, 'Oh, I love to watch Food Network,' and I ask them what they cook, and they say, 'I don't really cook.' They're afraid, they're intimidated, they know all about food from eating out and watching TV, but they don't know where to start in their own kitchen.
I wish I had a little more joy of cooking - because mostly I have anxiety of cooking. I'm so proud when things come out well.
I'm a decent cook, and I will try to cook anything. My only weakness is that I don't know servings - I only know how to make a lot.
I think many cooks are afraid of undercooked meats. A good thermometer is a cook's best friend.
I get so nervous before I go on stage that I can never eat very much, so I'm always completely starving afterwards and dying for a bowl of pasta.
My family barbecued a lot; good barbecue is more complicated than you think.
When I was a young man, I was overly sensitive to things, and I found it difficult to eat when I was nervous.
