My plans are not to open a restaurant, but what I would like to do is open a kitchen somewhere in D.C. proper and have a chef's table where people can come and taste my food without having to have a catered event.

What I love about 'The Chew' is that we have these celebrities come on, and you get to see them in a different light, cooking or enjoying food, when we usually don't see them in that setting. So it's a lot of fun for their fans to see them be normal people and having that commonality of food.

But once in a while you might see me at In and Out Burger; they make the best fast food hamburgers around.

For me, I love the flavors of Southern food, and people usually think of Southern food as heavy and fattening, but it doesn't have to be.

I've never said I was a chef - I think I make great food. I will never open a restaurant to do, like, tasting courses.

I've just always loved singing, and I come from a family that loves singing around the kitchen table.
