Don't you just hate it when the war on terrorism interferes with political correctness and liberalism's equality fetish?
A tree without roots is just a piece of wood.

I wasn't manufactured. I was cut from the cloth of the very old world of gastronomy. There was no such thing as celebrity chefs, chefs were trained and I like to think that I still represent those old values from that world and the opportunities that I am offered I often say no to.

And that I think is going to be an important task.
