I grew up so poor in Austria that we never took a vacation with my family.

I grew up in Austria, and for me real comfort food is Wiener Schnitzel. Wiener Schnitzel and mashed potatoes because it reminds me of my youth... It reminds me when I grow up and it feels very comforting.

I grew up in a very large, poor family.

Television in the '80s was very limited. There was no Food Network.

There's a lot of processed food in America and I know that can make some tourists who're used to fresh food feel sick.

A good chef has to be a manager, a businessman and a great cook. To marry all three together is sometimes difficult.
