My Favorite Kitchen Utensil…
Tongs. They virtually become your hands.

The Cookery in Dobbs Ferry. Love the simplicity and feel.
I Hate It When a Diner at My Restaurant…
likes better what the other person at the table got and tries to find something wrong with his dish or lies to the server about what he ordered. Just tell me you prefer what the other person ordered; I’ll get it out to you as soon as I can.

Although a reluctant hostess told you the kitchen would be open for a few more minutes, it can take up to one hour to close down a restaurant kitchen. So you can bet that while you’re picking at your salad, your entrée is already cooked and drying up under the heat lamp, while the cooks start the lengthy closing process.
I Never Cook with…
peanut oil. Although it can make anything crisp up, there are too many allergies associated with it.
Favorite Fish…
Halibut. There is no better taste.
Least Favorite Fish…
Bluefish. Way too oily.
I Hate It When I’m Dining at a Restaurant and…

The Toughest Part of My Job Is…

The Strangest Request Received from a Diner…
Someone once ordered his whole plate to be burned. I sent it out well done, and he sent it back. So I burned everything on that plate and he loved it.
Favorite Pain Reliever…
Advil, chased with a glass of wine.
