It's very different doing a food show in America and doing one in Britain. I did a 20-part series for the BBC series called 'Eating With the Enemy.' The budget for all 20 episodes was probably the budget for a single episode of 'Top Chef.' It's the difference between making a home movie in your backyard and going to Hollywood.

I miss being fawned over by restaurateurs and chefs.

'Top Chef' is a very smooth-running machine. All the people working there are incredibly professional and absolutely at the top of their game.
