Chef quotes
" Food is our common ground, a universal experience. "

James Beard
" Having been to Europe and working and traveling there, the restaurants my wife and I remember were always off the beaten trail restaurants. So I tried to seek a little 'off the beaten trail,' but cool area. "

Todd English
" I call it an old-fashioned seafood house for the new millennium. We are trying to update what we know as old fish houses and places like that, which are great, but I want to give it a new, fresh look with updated versions of the classics we all love. "

Todd English
" I had always been in the kitchen and had some management experience, but I never ran the front nor ran a whole restaurant. "

Todd English
" I have actually been very fortunate having the same people. The cooks come and go, but basically the management has stayed the same. "

Todd English
" I haven't done it yet, but things like that come to mind. It's almost like salt-roasting, but it's pepper-roasting. "

Todd English
" I liked the energy of cooking, the action, the camaraderie. I often compare the kitchen to sports and compare the chef to a coach. There are a lot of similarities to it. "

Todd English
" I played from the time I was seven years old. My father was my first baseman coach. I had opportunities that I never really pursued - with some Miami teams and a few larger colleges, and then I ended up bailing and began cooking. "

Todd English
" I think a lot of people have a misconception of what the kitchen is about, but you know the grueling part of it is also the pleasure of it. That's why I think you have to have a certain mentality to understand what that is and be able to handle it. "

Todd English
" I think you have to find your favorite restaurant, or find a restaurant you like, get to know the people, and ask them if you can volunteer. Most people will let you do that, observe, hang out in the kitchen, see what you're getting into. Tell them the reason why you want to do it. "

Todd English
" I try to get them working. My older son is 10 and he's pretty interested. We had a dinner party the other night and he helped a lot. He helped peel asparagus; he hung out. It was great. "

Todd English
" I'm definitely nervous and excited. I feel like I've been playing off-Broadway, not to say that Boston doesn't have a great theatre district or great theatre, but it's not going to Broadway; it's just a different city. "

Todd English
" In fact our turkey chops have developed quite a cult following. My customers actually yell at me when I take it off the menu. "

Todd English
" Like anything, you don't force kids to cook. It just becomes part of life - have them be around it, keep them informed - talk about it. I try to relay my passion for it in these ways. The second you try to force anything on your own kid, they rebel. "

Todd English
" Like I said, turkey is so versatile and is light, yet rich in flavor, so I use it in a number of recipes. Some of my favorites include turkey chops, turkey osso bucco, turkey scaloppini and turkey comfit. "
