I Think New York Has The Most

I Don't Have A Long Family History Of Good Cooks In My Family.

Nobody Believed The 'food Network' Could Last. Even I Was Short Sighted And Thought To Myself, 24 Hours Of Food On Tv? They'll Run Out Of Things To Talk About In Four Days! But That Wasn't True. 'food Network' Continues To Get Better And Evolve.

I Wasn't Passionate About Food Until I'd Been Cooking For A While. I Started Long Before Food Became Part Of The Mainstream Media. I Just Wanted To Cook, Period.

The First Time I Was Cooking For My Wife, Stephanie, Way Before She Was My Wife, I Actually Put Three Chickens On The Rotisserie And I Closed The Grill, Which Is Really A Bad Idea. But I Just Wasn't Thinking Very Straight That Day. And I Looked Outside And I Saw, Like, Smoke And Flames.

In Those Days, The Main Requirement To Be On The Food Network Was Being Able To Get There By Subway.
