I call all chefs cooks. They're all cooks. That's what we do, we cook. You're a chef when you're running a kitchen.

I think steak is the ultimate comfort food, and if you're going out for one, that isn't the time to scrimp on calories or quality.

A steak needs fat to taste great.

Recipes tell you nothing. Learning techniques is the key.

Every chef should have an understanding of pastries or desserts.

I know from personal experience, if a chef yelled at me in a kitchen, the first thing I'd want to do is hit them with a pot.

I think the most effective way to run a kitchen is to teach, not to just yell.

In an ideal world for me, school lunch would be free for everybody.

Once you have your basics down, you can start breaking the rules.

I hate okra and grated mountain yam for the same reason. They're both slimy.

One of the first jobs I ever had was opening clams in a seafood restaurant, so I'm pretty quick at it.

Live with purpose.

I think we would all agree that people should not be jailed for thoughts. But when, if ever, does a thought cross the line and become a crime?

Strive to be different.

We already live a very long time for mammals, getting three times as many heartbeats as a mouse or elephant. It never seems enough though, does it?

A great city is a great solitude.

Losses are inevitable, but excuses are optional.

There is nothing so great as the Eucharist. If God had something more precious, He would have given it to us.

The more debris there is the more it will show the governor's activity.

There's a technical reason why I think that frame rate is weird and it has to with your brain's ability to scan beyond a certain rate. The point is I find it looks weird.

Sometimes discipline, which means 'to teach,' is confused with criticism. Children-as well as people of all ages-improve behavior from love and encouragement more than from fault-finding.
