Bread Street Kitchen is a big operation, a unique beast, and it needs bedding in.
I think sometimes we lose sight of how powerful we are when we put someone on the news - for good or bad. It can really change people's lives.
I remember when I interviewed at MSNBC, one of the first things they said to me was, 'In your tapes, you had a mustache, right?' I said, 'Yeah, I recently took it off. ' I said, 'If you hire me, you get to decide if you want it or not. ' They said, 'No, no, we're fine with it now. '

I was sitting here without a shirt on, absentmindedly scratching my back with a pen for about five minutes and I just looked in the mirror and saw that I had drawn a nice mural on my back.
