In The Restaurant It's Much

Soups Are A Great Way To Introduce A Lot Of Vegetables To Kids. Stir-fries, Too, Because They Contain So Many Different Shapes And Colors.

I Don't Limit Myself.

My Food Is Louisiana, New Orleans-based, Well-seasoned, Rustic. I Think It's Pretty Unique Because Of My Background Being Influenced By My Mom, Portuguese And French Canadian. There's A Lot Going On There.

You Have To Be Cautious Of Eating Continuously The Same Thing. Beef Comes To Mind Right Away, And There's Nothing Wrong With Beef, But You've Got To Do Whatever You're Doing In Moderation. So Try To Break It Up A Little Bit. Eat Some Fish Or Some Shellfish At Least A Couple Of Times A Week.

My Inspiration Was My Mom. She's A Great Cook, And She Still Cooks, And We Still Banter Back And Forth About Cooking. Growing Up In A Mostly Portuguese Community, Food Was Important And The Family Table Was Extremely Important. At A Very Young Age I Understood That.
