You Can Eat An Omelet At Midnight,

I Fell In Love With Food Because Of My Mother. So, I Will Definitely Be Sharing And Expanding More Recipes From My Culture (as Well As Many Other Cultures), And Will Be Sharing Recipes That I Have Experienced From My Whole Culinary Life.

I Won't Quit My Day Job. I Like Restaurants. I Don't Do A Lot Of Television, Either, Even Though People Come To Me With Projects All The Time. I Have To Spend Time In The Kitchen.

Now Everybody Thinks That Once You Do Top Chef, Then 13 Weeks Later You're A Chef. Nobody Wants To Learn To Cook Anymore.

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.

Young People Want To Be Famous Before They Know How To Cook, Before They Know How To Treat People, Before They Know What Hospitality Means. I Stayed In France For Seven Years And Austria For Three, So Before I Was A Chef Anywhere I Was Already Cooking For 10 Years.
