New York City is crazy and beautiful and really close to my heart, and I've always had dear friends here - family, actually, I would say.
'The Food Network' was just starting in New York, and I was getting lots of attention from Mesa Grill. They had no money, so if you couldn't get there by subway, you couldn't be on. It wasn't like TV was something I really wanted to do - but I knew it would be great publicity for my restaurants.
For me, fashion begins in New York.
