The American Dream Is Ownership

Cookbooks Have All Become Baroque And Very Predictable. I'm Looking For Something Different. A Lot Of Chefs' Cookbooks Are Food As It's Done In The Restaurants, But They Are Dumbed Down, And I Hate It When They Dumb Them Down.

I Obsess Everyday About Everything. Not Only About What We Do Well But What We Can Do Better... In The End, The Only Reason I Am Motivated To Do What I Do Is For The Hedonistic Pleasures Of The Table.

Even Though You'll See Gnocchi Or Linguine Everywhere In Some Of The Regions Of Italy, Each Of Those Chefs Has Their Own Expression Of That Which Expresses More About The Place They Were Exactly Born Than It Does About Trying To Be A Part Of The Greater Mass. And That's The Italian Culture.

There Are Pockets Of Great Food In Spain, But There Are Also Pockets Of Very Mediocre Food In Spain, And The Same In Morocco And The Same In Croatia And The Same In Germany And The Same In Austria.

I Got Some Media Coverage For Using The Tail, The Ear, The Oink.
