The world has changed, and it's almost been 11 years. I have 975 employees. I have six restaurants. We haven't opened any new ones in almost three years. ↗

We began building this incredible new foundation in this restaurant, and that's what began giving me the left-hand side of tradition and the right-hand side, my new palate. ↗

When I first decided to open a restaurant, I was turned down by several banks. It was the late 80's and many restaurants were failing. I refused to give up because I knew I had a good concept. ↗

When it ceases to be fun, I'll stop and just stay in my restaurants. ↗

Whether it's books or TV, or whatever the case may be, the backbone of what I do is my restaurants. ↗

You know, for 300 years it's been kind of the same. There are restaurants in New Orleans that the menu hasn't changed in 125 years, so how is one going to change or evolve the food? ↗

I spend my weekends sleeping and watching DVDs, and eating at restaurants within a 2-block radius of my apartment. ↗

I would work as a cook, get a little money, then open another restaurant. ↗

That being said, I often write into recipes techniques I learned in the restaurant kitchen. There are ways of organizing your prep and so on that are immensely useful. Those are woven into all the recipes I do. ↗

I'm lucky that my restaurant partners are my wife Liz and Doug Petkovic. We opened our first restaurant over 15 years ago. And we didn't open up our second restaurant for almost ten years. So that gave us a good foundation of employees. ↗
