At home I like to do things like leg of lamb. I have a rotisserie on my grill. This past weekend I made a molasses-and-pepper-crusted filet mignon.
Cook ingredients that you are used to cooking by other techniques, such as fish, chicken, or hamburgers. In other words be comfortable with the ingredients you are using.
Everyone does it with a smile. And cooking is a subject you can never know enough about. There is always something new to discover.
Grilling outside with my parents at the Jersey shore. We would grill lobster and corn in the summer.
Grilling takes the formality out of entertaining. Everyone wants to get involved.
Heat is more even on a gas grill. On a charcoal grill the flame varies so much that it takes a very skilled hand to grill things properly.
I guess I fell into cooking.
I like to roast dishes in cazuelas and serve them directly from the oven to the table. It's a really festive style of eating.
I love New York City so much that I want my passion for it to show in this steakhouse. It's going to be really New York.
I love the culture of grilling. It creates an atmosphere that is festive but casual.
I love using gas grills because they are easier to heat and it's much easier to control the flames with a gas grill than with a charcoal fire. Grilling is not just about lighting a fire.
I still love making hamburgers on the grill. I guess whenever I eat them childhood memories come up for me.
I went to Spain and basically stole the flavors of Spanish cooking. We use, at Bolo, ingredients, herbs and spices used in typical Spanish cooking.
If my daughter wants to get into this business, I would support that decision. She's going to have a hard time not being in it. She loves food and she's around it all the time.
It is very important that when you put something on the grill, you leave it in place to cook. If you move it around too quickly, chances are it is going to stick.
It's called "Hot Off The Grill," and it's a lot of fun. Jacqui Malouf is my co-host. She's a comedian by trade and she keeps the action going.
My partner and I are looking at several locations on Park Avenue South and Midtown for a new restaurant space.
She has such great respect for ingredients. I think it's important for my daughter to understand where food comes from.
The other person who inspired me was Jonathan Waxman, who used to own Jam's in New York City. He was the first person to show me what good food was.
The process and the great smells it produces make everyone hungry and get everyone's mouth watering. And it gives men a chance to cook.
The show is not just about grilling and it tries to create a fun party-like atmosphere. It's filmed in a SoHo loft.
There are so many great things about this business. Almost everybody is on the same team. It is all for one-friendly competitiveness. No one is out to hurt anyone.
Wolfgang Puck because he helped make a career in food possible for somebody like me. He made food that was really good, but also fun and whimsical.
