Never be a food snob. Learn from everyone you meet - the fish guy at your market, the lady at the local diner, farmers, cheese makers. Ask questions, try everything and eat up!

Something baked. Chicken or fish or pork. I have to take care of myself, eat like a guy in my 40s -- I just happen to be in football. My wife doesn't fry a lot of food. I love fresh tomatoes, broccoli, corn. My two-year-old loves corn, and I agree. I probably should take vitamins but I don't. I get my vitamins the old-fashioned way -- from fruits and vegetables.

You know, food is such - it's a hug for people.

When you're out grocery shopping for your family, maybe you can put a can of cat or dog food in your cart and bring it to an animal relief center.

When I do a 30-minute meal, for instance, on Food Network, that's my food you see at the end of the show and it's not perfect. And if sometimes things break or drop or the pasta hits the wall when I'm draining it, they never stop tape. They just kind of let me go with it.

People know me for my love of food, but I have so much more I want to share, ... Our show's going to be all about taking a bigger bite out of life.
