I Feel Like Being On Broadway Will

Seriously. I'm Not Very Bright, And It Takes A Lot For Me To Get A Concept - To Really Get A Concept. To Get It Enough That It Becomes Part Of Me. But When It Happens I Get Real Excited About It

The Kitchen's A Laboratory, And Everything That Happens There Has To Do With Science. It's Biology, Chemistry, Physics. Yes, There's History. Yes, There's Artistry. Yes, To All Of That. But What Happened There, What Actually Happens To The Food Is All Science.

No Matter How Much Creativity Goes Into It, Cooking Is An Art. Or Perhaps I Should Say A Craft. It Abides By Absolute Rules, Physics, Chemistry, Etc. And That Means That Unless You Understand The Science You Cannot Reach The Art. We're Not Talking About Painting Here. Cooking's More Like Engineering. I Happen To Think That There Is Great Beauty In Great Engineering.

I Like Television. I Still Believe That Television Is The Most Powerful Form Of Communication On Earth - I Just Hate What Is Being Done With It.

I Would Have Bacteria And, Yeah, It Would Grow In What We Call The Danger Zone, Which Is Typically Between 40 And 140. But If I'm Getting Something Out Of My Refrigerator Where It's Been Basically Pretty Clean And I'm Putting It On My Counter, What Exactly Is Going To Happen In That Amount Of Time That Going Into A Hot Oven Isn't Going To Kill? Nothing.
