'chef' Doesn't Mean That You're The Best Cook, It Simply Means 'boss.'

I'd Like To See 'top Chef: Amateur'. Sometimes We Have An Amateur Chef On The Show And They Just Can't Cut It Against The Pros But There Are Some Great Stories There.

A Couple Of Months Ago, I Was Down In Florida For The Food And Wine Festival. And This Journalist Grabbed Me And Said, 'how Does It Feel To Be A Tv Guy? You're No Longer In The Restaurant Business.' And I Laughed. I Asked Him, 'how Long Do You Think It Takes Me To Do A Season?' He Said, 'well, 200 Days.' And I Was Like, '200 Days? Try 20!'

I Dont Know Too Many Parents That Want To Feed Their Kids Soda, But High-fructose Corn Syrup Is Cheap. The Price Of Soda In 20 Years Has Gone Down 40 Percent While The Price Of Whole Foods, Fruits And Vegetables, Has Gone Up 40 Percent And Obesity Goes Up Right Along That Curve.

I Think The Most Effective Way To Run A Kitchen Is To Teach, Not To Just Yell.
