I Don't Have A Long Family History

One Of The Things That Happens In My House On The Holidays Is After Dessert, We Sit Down To A Very Ambitious Men-versus-women Game Of Trivial Pursuit. It's Brutal. And There's A Trophy.

I Prefer Lump Charcoal Over Briquettes But I Do Use Both For Different Reasons And Different Recipes And Sometimes I Combine Them Both When I Really Want The Woodsy Aroma From The Lump Charcoal And Long, Even Heat From The Briquettes.

You Can't Chase Everybody On The Internet Who's Saying Stuff About You, That's For Sure.

Don't Try To Be The Next Rachael Ray Or Bobby Flay, We Already Have Those People. We Want Someone Who Is Going To Make Their Own Mark On 'food Network.'

My Contribution I Hope Is To Get People To Eat Full-flavored Food. If I Could Come Away With That Alone, That Would Be A Fantastic Accomplishment. I'm Also Very Proud Of Being A Very American Chef.
