I love celery and people don't use it a lot. Celery and flavors in that family - it really brightens and is refreshing. Todd English brightenceleryfamily Change image and share on social
Some of the things I think I learned from that were very educational as far as just paying bills - the basics in dealing with a restaurant like that. It was just life - the education involved in running the organization, even on a small level. Todd English basicbilldeal share on social
I've got a really great team around me. They're the ones that are in the restaurants on a day to day basis. Anyone that's good can't be stifled in any way. I don't baby people. Todd English babybasisday Change image and share on social
I enjoy the creative side of the business side of being a restaurateur. That's my thing. The thing I'm constantly thinking about is, how do you create new, interesting situations that keep people coming back? Todd English backbusinesscome share on social
We have a training period; we have certain guidelines and structure. You can't hire talented people and stifle them. That's not the way it works anymore. Todd English anymoreguidelinehire Change image and share on social
Absolutely, there is a connection between food and love. I always say, when there's love in my heart or I'm feeling particularly good, the food comes out that much better. And so I think Valentine's Day is a special day. Todd English absolutelyconnectionday share on social
I'm definitely nervous and excited. I feel like I've been playing off-Broadway, not to say that Boston doesn't have a great theatre district or great theatre, but it's not going to Broadway; it's just a different city. Todd English bostonbroadwaycity share on social
I think a lot of people have a misconception of what the kitchen is about, but you know the grueling part of it is also the pleasure of it. That's why I think you have to have a certain mentality to understand what that is and be able to handle it. Todd English gruelinghandlekitchen share on social
I liked the energy of cooking, the action, the camaraderie. I often compare the kitchen to sports and compare the chef to a coach. There are a lot of similarities to it. Todd English actioncamaraderiechef Change image and share on social
Like anything, you don't force kids to cook. It just becomes part of life - have them be around it, keep them informed - talk about it. I try to relay my passion for it in these ways. The second you try to force anything on your own kid, they rebel. Todd English cookforceinform share on social
