Now Everybody Thinks That Once You Do

The Most Important Thing For Me Is To Really Buy The Best Ingredient.

The Only Way To Teach People How To Truly Do It And Do It The Right Way, Is To Get Those Ingredients And Kitchen Tools In Front Of Them And In Their Hands To Use.

Television In The '80s Was Very Limited. There Was No Food Network. When I Opened Spago, I Had The Kitchen In The Dining Hall. It Was Probably The First Restaurant To Do So. The Dining Scene Became More Casual. All These Cooking Shows Have Transformed Our Profession One-hundred Percent.

I Think The Most Important Thing When You Are In A Competition And You Have, Let's Say, Ingredients You Have To Use Make Something You Did Already Because None Of The Judges, You Know, Probably Had It In Our Lifetime, So I Think Do Something You Feel Confident With, Not Something Completely New Where You Are Not Sure How Many Hours Or How Many Minutes You Have To Cook It Or If The Seasoning Is Right Or If The Combinations Of Spices And Herbs Are Right.

What I Don't Like Is Breakfast In The Morning. I Have A Double-espresso Cappuccino, But No Food.
