People Will Travel Anywhere For Good Food

I Started To Change. It Was Sort Of A Restaurant Mid-life Crisis, You Could Say. I Lost A Lot Of Confidence, Not So Much As A Father Or As A Friend, But As A Boss, As A Chef That's To Make Decisions Throughout The Day All The Time. I Just Slowly Started Burning Out. Once You Lose Your Confidence Like That, You Start Being Angry In The Kitchen. I Couldn't Recognize Myself Anymore. I Started Writing The Journal. It Was Never Meant To Be A Book, But The Editor At Phaidon Read Parts Of It. As Editors Do, I Guess.

When You Start At Catering College, Nobody Prepares You For A Book Tour Or Public Speaking.

Cooking, I Mean, Food, Cooking Foods Is Just Everything That I Do From Morning To Night. It's How I Choose To Live My Life: Through Cooking, People That Are In Food Culture. And I Love It.

I Never Cooked At Home - My Father Was The Chef.

I Know Every Movement Of My Kitchen.
