"Two words to improve any dish. Ba, Con"
"It's very important to me that people who are actual chefs and other professionals in the culinary world, understand that I'm not, and have never held myself out as being, like a CIA trained chef."
"When the idea of 'Chopped' surfaced, it was originally meant to be taped at some guy's mansion with him and his crazy Chihuahua. A stuffy fellow in a tuxedo was to host, and the losing chef's dish was then fed to the dog! I am not kidding, I saw it! I think it is genius! Twisted, but genius!"
"You know the great irony is that people think you have to have money to enjoy fine food, which is a shame."
"Cooking for people is an enormously significant expression of generosity and soulfulness."
