home boys wife
I have two young boys, and my wife is at home. Most of the time, I will cook the food, and we'll eat together.

I love strong flavors too. Like I don't mind if it looks clean and clear and you know what you are eating if it has Italian, Chinese or Japanese flavor I love them all.
eye adventurous
Food television opened the eyes, and palates, of our guests. They became more adventurous.
fun writing passion
I used to write cookbooks. It was passion to try to bring healthy and fun recipes to people's homes. It was a way to bring my home to theirs.
helping
Stay away from iodized table salt. It's just bad and doesn't help food taste good.
wine revolution
America has undergone a total food and wine revolution.

A chef is a mixture maybe of artistry and craft. You have to learn the craft really to get there.
knives
I like the Japanese knives, I like French knives. Whatever's sharp.
important ingredients important-things
The most important thing for me is to really buy the best ingredient.
children fun boys
Restaurants are like having children: its fun to make them, maybe, but then you have them for good and bad. You are going to have to raise them and if something goes wrong when they are 30 years old, they will still be your little boy.
mistake restaurants
I learn more from the one restaurant that didn't work than from all the ones that were successes.
television food-network 80s
Television in the '80s was very limited. There was no Food Network.
mistake made
When you have made as many mistakes as I have, then you can be as good as me.
boxing people tennis
When you meet someone, ask about what hobby they have, not what they do. People always ask me about cooking, but I prefer to talk about tennis or boxing.
