I could have made a fortune in cheeseburgers but I finally chose politics.

Obviously the easiest recipes are the most successful when it comes to the home cook because they're not intimidated by them. If I'm doing 'Boy Meets Grill ' and I do something very simple like grilled hamburgers or steaks or chicken those are the most sought-after recipes.

I'm on a health kick! I'm drawn to cheeseburgers so I've got to just try and keep it on an even keel.

We cover hamburgers chicken veggie burgers salads we've got a pretty broad range. To me McDonald's isn't only about the food. It's about the prices it's about the way we eat.

But once in a while you might see me at In and Out Burger they make the best fast food hamburgers around.

When I hosted the dinner I served fast food hamburgers. It had nothing to do with black white purple yellow green race. it had nothing to do with Tiger or his family or his golf game.

The number one mistake is giving pets table scraps. I made the mistake thinking I was showing my dog love by giving her food and treats. You see a tiny 4 oz. piece of cheese but for a Boston Terrier like mine that's like one and a half hamburgers. That's unhealthy.

You know most of the food that Americans hold so dear - things like hamburgers and hot dogs - were road food but even before they were road food they were peasant food.

With the counseling of my family doctor my mother ended up turning to Weight Watchers and their children's program. I went to weekly meetings got counseling and would exercise with my peers who were my size. It was the first time I saw a proper children's portion size and it wasn't two burgers it was one.

I love my daughter but she had me on couscous and fixed me pastas and made me eat oatmeal every morning and what else turkey burgers turkey bacon and that kind of stuff. So she wants her dad to live a long time and I do too.

I like men who are very cool but who are also so brilliant that they are almost insane. Sean Penn Gary Oldman Bob Dylan Tom Waits - men who would be flipping burgers if they hadn't found an outlet for their brilliant mind-sets.

The United Nations four or five years ago put out a study that said the meat industry meat-eating growing meat for food is the No. 1 killer of our planet - not No. 2 or No. 3: No 1. You know what's No. 2? Transportation. Everyone thinks that No. 1 is transportation and goes out and buys a hybrid car. Screw the hybrid cars. Don't eat hamburgers.

If it's flipping hamburgers at McDonald's be the best hamburger flipper in the world. Whatever it is you do you have to master your craft.
