I used to spend five hours in a record store looking for albums. Now everything’s online. But I can’t find artisanal sausage online and eat it right away. Maybe food markets are the vintage record shops of 2012. There’s something attractive about finding something no one else has, but then sharing it. I was sending text messages to all my friends in the neighborhood to come out. With a record, you’d keep it for yourself.

The chefs are the new rock stars, there is no question about it. My grandfather was a chef and, believe me, he was poor. He didn’t have a brand-new car or was living in a big old house like Mario, Emeril and the boys. They have become superstars and people like watching their every move. And I’m one of them. I’m a fan and I own restaurants, so I see both sides of it.
