TDG: The eGullet Interview: Ted Allen

[Jinmyo]

I've just read part deux. Ted's conclusion is great:

Q: Is there anything else you would like to say to the eGullet membership?

A: Just thank you very much for watching the show and please be kind! If I have committed any culinary atrocities, please forgive me. Know that I approach this with the utmost humility. I know there are a lot of people who are much better cooks than I am. I just want to meet those people and learn from them and enjoy it. I am much more interested in the process than results. I probably shouldn't be, but I haven't poisoned anybody yet. I just love doing it. I am much more concerned with having the opportunity to do it than I am with how it turns out. This is probably a semi-healthy attitude. I mean I want people to enjoy their dinner, but I just love the process so much.

That's what I want to do when Queer Eye is over. Just follow Mario Batali around, I'll eat his leftovers or be his royal taster.

great line.

Great interview, Rachel! Thanks so much!

Didn't know if anyone else has mentioned this but MSNBC has a quick blurb pointing to Rachel's article in the Test Pattern section. Scroll down to the Jan. 9th entry.

Way to go, Rachel!

Thanks for pointing that out, Chad. I hadn't even noticed until just now. Wow!

Just wanted to post a note about Ted's cookbook.

It's to be released in October, here's a link to the publisher's page about it: Clarkson Potter on The Food You Want to Eat by Ted Allen.
