If You Think Big, Then It's Going

I Came Here Because The City Has A Tradition And Is A Very Respected Food City.

My Family... Always Had The Value Of The Family Table And These Cultural Influences Of Growing Up.

I Have A Lot Of Influences. I'm American-schooled. I'm Classically Trained. I'm A Pretty Universal Student, If You Will. I Have A Lot Of Degrees, Which Really Don't Pay The Rent. I Have Two Doctorate Degrees, I Have A Bachelor's Degree, But I'm Still A Cook.

I Guess I Feel That I Was Following My Instincts, And At The Same Time Being Guided By The Best. I Became Totally Intrigued With Louisiana - The People, The Food. It Is A Part Of My Life. Everything That Has Happened For Me Since Moving Here Has Just Been Icing On The Cake.

When It Ceases To Be Fun, I'll Stop And Just Stay In My Restaurants.
