Today, When I Hire, I Look For

I Think Everybody At Some Point In Time Has Thought To Themselves, "i Have A Really Great Idea For A Restaurant."

I Wasn't Passionate About Food Until I'd Been Cooking For A While. I Started Long Before Food Became Part Of The Mainstream Media. I Just Wanted To Cook, Period.

Most Of The Time, I Grill Over High Heat. I Like Things To Move Fast. I Like The Sound And Smell Of A Very Hot Fire. I Gravitate Towards Dishes That You Can Get On And Off The Grill As Quickly As Possible. After A While, You'll Know Without Thinking About It How Hot The Fire Is.

Go Vegetable Heavy. Reverse The Psychology Of Your Plate By Making Meat The Side Dish And Vegetables The Main Course.

I Spend 80% Of My Time In My Restaurants. Taping My Tv Shows Doesn't Take Much Time, And Then They Get Aired A Lot. That's The Thing People Don't Realize.
