“I call all chefs 'cooks.' They're all cooks. That's what we do, we coo...” — Tom Colicchio Quote

I call all chefs 'cooks.' They're all cooks. That's what we do, we cook. You're a chef when you're running a kitchen.

A steak needs fat to taste great.

Every chef should have an understanding of pastries or desserts.

A sushi chef has to spot the best-quality fresh fish instantly.

While you can have the cult of the celebrity chef, the food still must taste good.

I have a chef who cooks for me. I like to eat healthy.
