Those other 10 o'clock shows that come on, all you get from them is headaches and nightmares when you go to bed! At least we give you food, know what I mean?

I came here because the city has a tradition and is a very respected food city.

You know, for 300 years it's been kind of the same. There are restaurants in New Orleans that the menu hasn't changed in 125 years, so how is one going to change or evolve the food?

When you look at Louisiana food, you'll see there is a tremendous amount of respect. Mainly because of the amount of years... it has 200 years of history. There are restaurants that have menus that are older than most U.S. cities.

I have always been involved with both music and food. Music was first, and I kind of had to set that on the back burner when food took over.

Spice is life. It depends upon what you like... have fun with it. Yes, food is serious, but you should have fun with it.
