It's Important To Have Balance In Your

Nothing Goes Perfectly, Especially When You're Opening A Restaurant.

I Guess I Fell Into Cooking.

The First Time I Was Cooking For My Wife, Stephanie, Way Before She Was My Wife, I Actually Put Three Chickens On The Rotisserie And I Closed The Grill, Which Is Really A Bad Idea. But I Just Wasn't Thinking Very Straight That Day. And I Looked Outside And I Saw, Like, Smoke And Flames.

I Spend 80% Of My Time In My Restaurants. Taping My Tv Shows Doesn't Take Much Time, And Then They Get Aired A Lot. That's The Thing People Don't Realize.

I Was Not Such A Great Student, .. So, When I Graduated High School, I Went To Work Cooking. I Cooked A Little At Home, But Back Then, Cooking Wasn't Really A Profession That You Aspired To, Unless Your Family Was In The Business. I Looked At It As A Job. My First Job Was At Joe Allen's, And I Remember There Was A Photo Over The Bar Of The Triple Dead Heat From The 1944 Carter Handicap.
