I do know what my first meal in the next world would be... Spaghetti Aglio e Olio, heavy on everything.

I felt I'd earned the Good Housekeeping Seal when I designed an oval-shaped spaghetti pot, because spaghetti is long.

I make a dog-friendly version of almost everything that we make for dinner.

You know, food is such - it's a hug for people.

My first memory in life is grilling my thumb to the griddle in our restaurant on Cape Cod.

When I do a 30-minute meal, for instance, on Food Network, that's my food you see at the end of the show and it's not perfect. And if sometimes things break or drop or the pasta hits the wall when I'm draining it, they never stop tape. They just kind of let me go with it.
