There are so many great things about this business. Almost everybody is on the same team. It is all for one-friendly competitiveness. No one is out to hurt anyone.

If my daughter wants to get into this business, I would support that decision. She's going to have a hard time not being in it. She loves food and she's around it all the time.
I guess I fell into cooking.
Cook ingredients that you are used to cooking by other techniques, such as fish, chicken, or hamburgers. In other words be comfortable with the ingredients you are using.
My partner and I are looking at several locations on Park Avenue South and Midtown for a new restaurant space.
I love using gas grills because they are easier to heat and it's much easier to control the flames with a gas grill than with a charcoal fire. Grilling is not just about lighting a fire.
Grilling takes the formality out of entertaining. Everyone wants to get involved.
My feeling is that if you can cook, I can teach you how to do television.
It is very important that when you put something on the grill, you leave it in place to cook. If you move it around too quickly, chances are it is going to stick.
I love the culture of grilling. It creates an atmosphere that is festive but casual.
Grilling outside with my parents at the Jersey shore. We would grill lobster and corn in the summer.
