Don't Underestimate The Importance Of Having Enough Room To Work. Grilling Is Much More Relaxing When You Are Not Trying To Juggle A Whole Collection Of Plates And Bowls As You Do It. If Your Grill Doesn't Have Enough Workspace - And They Almost Never Do - Set Up A Table Right Next To Your Grill.

I Was Hired As A Sous-chef At A Restaurant On The Upper East Side. The Chef Liked To Drink - Some Mornings We Would Find Him Sleeping. Two Weeks After Its Opening, I Became The Chef. I Was 20 Years Old, And Way Over My Head. I Had To Hire The Cooks And Do The Menus.

Chipotles To Me Are A One-of-a-kind Pepper Because They're Smoked Jalapenos, So They're Fiery And They're Smoky. It's Good To Use Chipotles In Salsas Or Soups Or Condiments - That Works Really Well. To Me, They Always Really Pick Up Anything You Put Them In.
