In Britain, by contrast, we still think that class plays a part in determining a person's life chances, so we're less inclined to celebrate success and less inclined to condemn failure. The upshot is that it's much easier to be a failure in Britain than it is in America. ↗

It's very different doing a food show in America and doing one in Britain. I did a 20-part series for the BBC series called 'Eating With the Enemy.'

America's growth historically has been fueled mostly by investment, education, productivity, innovation and immigration. The one thing that doesn't seem to have anything to do with America's growth rate is a brutal work schedule. ↗

I am an American, not by accident of birth but by choice. I voted with my feet and became an American because I love this country and think it is exceptional. ↗

It hasn't been easy to find American citizens who are willing to pick fruit in 110 degree weather. ↗
