"Catfish has a nice firm texture and mild flavor." — Tom Douglas

I'm a compassionate person, so if a product is 15 percent more than what I typically pay, and I see the purpose, I'll foster that kind of sustainability for the farmers/fishers.

I can't believe how many people don't have time to cook but have time to watch football and 'The Voice.' They're certainly making a choice.

I try to eat in one of my restaurants every day, and I eat out in another restaurant every day. It's what I do.

Around the time I opened my second restaurant, Etta's, I had just finished judging at the Jack Daniels World Invitational BBQ Championship in Lynchburg, Tennessee. Back home in Seattle, my goal was to recreate the sweet and smoky taste of that BBQ using our local wild king salmon instead of pig.

I was once made honorary mayor of my hometown of Newark, Del.

Every cook I knows loves to make pizza.

Tender and sweet, Manila clams partner well with a wide variety of foods - white wine, sake, beer, butter, leeks, fresh herbs, roasted peppers, olives, and wild mushrooms, to name a few.

There's natural mentoring that goes on in my life every day.
