My partner and I are looking at several locations on Park Avenue South and Midtown for a new restaurant space.

I love using gas grills because they are easier to heat and it’s much easier to control the flames with a gas grill than with a charcoal fire. Grilling is not just about lighting a fire.

I guess I fell into cooking.

The process and the great smells it produces make everyone hungry and get everyone’s mouth watering. And it gives men a chance to cook.

I love the culture of grilling. It creates an atmosphere that is festive but casual.

Grilling outside with my parents at the Jersey shore. We would grill lobster and corn in the summer.

If my daughter wants to get into this business, I would support that decision. She’s going to have a hard time not being in it. She loves food and she’s around it all the time.

There are so many great things about this business. Almost everybody is on the same team. It is all for one-friendly competitiveness. No one is out to hurt anyone.

Grilling takes the formality out of entertaining. Everyone wants to get involved.

Cook ingredients that you are used to cooking by other techniques, such as fish, chicken, or hamburgers. In other words be comfortable with the ingredients you are using.

It is very important that when you put something on the grill, you leave it in place to cook. If you move it around too quickly, chances are it is going to stick.

I still love making hamburgers on the grill. I guess whenever I eat them childhood memories come up for me.
