The “Top Chef” co-host–who is an unmatched TV personality precisely because he does not try to be one–in an interview with Salon:
Why do you think there’s so much interest in chefs at this time?
It started, I would say, in the early to mid-’80s, when people realized they couldn’t just keep going to discos and snorting coke, and they had to grow up and find another form of entertainment. And it became restaurants. I’m serious about that. I’m not joking.
