A steak needs fat to taste great.

I hate okra and grated mountain yam for the same reason. They're both slimy.

Recipes tell you nothing. Learning techniques is the key.

As my career has progressed, I've had the pleasure of playing with the baddest jazz cats on the planet. But that doesn't change my desire to entertain folks. That's really who I am.

I love my kitchen. On the weekends, we have friends over, the kids are buzzing around, and we cook and talk.

I don't really have time to watch too much, but I like 'Family Guy' and 'Entourage.' I'm also obsessed with the YouTube series 'Balls of Steel.' It's hilarious.
