In An Ideal World For Me, School

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!'

Every Season We Try To Do Something New. And Not For Gimmicks. We Feel The Show Has To Evolve And Keep Changing.

Many Of Them Have Accomplished A Lot Before They Ever Get To 'top Chef' Although They're Not Well Known. The Show Just Provides Them With A Platform. There's Just One Winner And On Some Seasons You Can Get Numerous Chefs That Are Really Good. Even If They Don't Win, They're All Talented.

We're Adults. We're The Ones Who Should Teach The Kids What's Good To Eat. I Don't Think The Government Should Ever Regulate What We Eat At Home, But We're Feeding Them In School With Tax Dollars. Quite Frankly, If My Tax Dollars Are Being Spent To Feed Kids, I'd Rather Feed Them Better Food.

I Can't Deal With A Lot Of Spice But I Have To Eat It. I Pay The Price - I'm On Medication For Heartburn, So That's How I Deal With It.
