I am so proud of 'Top Chef' - I think it's got great cred.
I love 'Top Chef.' I think it rewrote the book on how food shows are presented on TV.
I wanted to tell a dream-come-true story about going from a closeted gay kid who loved pop culture to an out adult man making pop culture. I went from being told when I was 21 that I should never go on TV because of my crossed eyes to winding up being a 'Housewives' whisperer and talk-show host.
