I Really Love Fried Chicken.

I Always Loved My Bangles, I Can't Remember A Time When I Didn't Have A Bangle On.

I Think Wine Is Such A Big Universe That It's Kind Of Like Food - It's Intimidating To A Lot Of People, Myself Included.

Part Of My Job As A Food Writer Is To Describe Food. So My Work On 'top Chef,' I Feel, Is An Extension Of That. When We Give A Criticism To The Contestant, We Want To Make Sure We Tell Them Why It's Not Working And Why It Would Work If They Did It A Different Way.

I Don't Look At Ratings Until Somebody Tells Me.

Wine, Like Food, Is So Emotional. If You Think About It, So Much Of The Courting Ritual Is Surrounded By Wine And Food. There's A Built-in Romance To Wine.
