We had no electricity, no gas. Food was probably our greatest entertainment - the most fun thing that we could do was food.

In '71 or '72 I returned to New Orleans and stayed there. I started cooking Louisiana food. Of all the things I had cooked, it was the best-and it was my heritage.

If you have acid in food, you need to sugar it. At a high temperature, the acids are changed to sugar.

I wait for the next opportunity to have something to do with food. If I get rested, my mind just starts creating new dishes - click, click, click.

I'd like to have the first restaurant that can deliver incredible quality food to your table at your house at any time-right where you live.
