I have a couple of different ideas in my head

Let me fix some apples.
- Going kind of Spanish, kind of Mediterranean--
chorizo, clams I'm gonna pull out of the shell.
- This is a flatbread? - Yeah.
- Okay, everybody still feels good about time, right?
- Yes.
- I just started cooking from my heart.
You know, obviously I had just seen my wife,
so I was thinking of something I could make her for dinner.
I'm gonna oven roast the chicken
to render out the fat, and then to finish,
I'm gonna pop it in the fryer.
To have the opportunity to cook for them on their wedding day
is really exciting. I am hot, and I am swinging.

with a sauteed kale with some bacon in it
and a blackened halibut.
It's a lot of pressure right now,
making these apps and entrées.
They want the spice, and I'ma give them the spice.
Now, that sounds VIP.
- Scallops, Chef. - Scallops.
