'Triple D' is not going anywhere. I enjoy highlighting my brothers and sisters in the business.

Triple D is all about three things: Food, story and character.

I'm a big fan of doing 'Triple D.' But I don't want to do it forever, don't get me wrong! Travel away from my family, are you crazy? But do you know what it does for these mom-and-pop restaurant joints? It changes their lives forever. I mean, their businesses will never be the same.

No matter how tough the meat may be, it's going to be tender if you slice it thin enough.

It's tough, you know: I'm a chef first, and a restaurant owner, way before I was ever on Food Network, and it's a tough business.

That's what Christ taught. We are all brothers and sisters.
