In this episode: Tom Colicchio (2), CJ (2), Hung (1), Anthony Bourdain (1), Gail (1), Howie (1), Padma Lakshmi (1), Clay (1)

I've been labeled a CPA for about a year now: Certified Professional Asshole! [laughs] That's me!

...or Clay's dish?

Tom and Padma walks in and I was just like, "Sweet little tyke in a manger, what is happening here?!"

[about Clay's amusé] This is almost more like a first course, not so much an amusé...I guess I have a big mouth, but I don't know if it's THIS big!

When you looked at my fucking apple, were you like, "That dude's fucked!" Be honest, you're not going to hurt my feelings. [laughs] That dude's fucked! Hell, I'm from Mississippi, pick it up and eat that son of a bitch! That's the way I see it!

[about Anthony Bourdain] He's not afraid to eat a brain out of a live monkey.

Oh, you're in trouble!
