Go to the grocery store and buy better things. Buy quality, buy organic, buy natural, go to the farmers market. Immediately thats going to increase the quality of the food you make. – Michael Symon
I love doing demonstrations. I think to be a great chef you have to be a great teacher. I love doing classes with people who love food and enjoy food, bringing them all around one table so to speak. – Michael Symon
My restaurants are never opened on Thanksgiving I want my staff to spend time with their family if they can. My feeling is, if I cant figure out how to make money the rest of the year so that my workers can enjoy the holidays, then I dont deserve to be an owner. – Michael Symon
Its not always possible to sit down and eat at home in this day and age of fast-paced living, but if you are going to eat out, do so as a family and support all the great local places in your areas. Ill still eat at the same diner I did as a kid with my parents. – Michael Symon
