Believe me, I understand the need for easy and speedy. After a 12-hour day of shooting 'Chopped,' say, I'm talking stir-fry, spaghetti, heck, peanut-butter sandwiches. But that's not about the joy of food. That's survival.

It's a 12-hour cooking class for me on the set of 'Chopped.' You'd think I'd get sick of it, but it's a source of endless interest to me. The only thing I don't like about it is it's a long day and my feet hurt. Otherwise, I love it.

Jay Leno is not a guy who likes change. He eats the same food every day.

I'm a home cook and love to read about food, but I'm not trained as a chef. I'm just really into cooking and passionate about it.

They did a heck of a job on our 3-point shooting. You know, we gutted it out. I didn't think it was pretty like last night, but in another sense basketball-wise it was good, to win one when we weren't clicking on offense.

I went in saying I wanted to be the food guy.
