I jokingly refer to the word 'gourmet' as the 'g' word.

What I love about Brooklyn is there are more wonderful little joints than anywhere.

For the most part this is a place to find down-to-earth advice on everyday cooking, eating, food shopping, cooking equipment, and nice things to put on your table.

I spent time at my grandfather Dino's gourmet store where he brought in chefs from Naples to cook. I thought of them as rock stars.

I've always had a natural fear of the police, or abuse of their power.

I've always said that the word 'genius,' especially in Hollywood, is way overused.
