I don't consider myself a rock star chef, I really don't. I cook for a living and I try to help out as many people as I can in my life and that's all I care about. I don't care about the fame of television, I use to a lot.

I travel 330 days a year and eat every two and a half hours - I'm a big guy. I always carry a fork, little bottles of spices, and Sriracha. I eat what I feel like eating.

Food is culture, and we need to listen to it.
Robert Irvine
Image
The military taught me discipline, how to problem solve, teamwork and loyalty, a perfect parallel to the kitchen. If we could take that and bottle it, it would be a amazing thing.

Every time I tour military outlets, I dedicate the food, fitness and set-ups to their service, because it all came to me through the military.

I created 'Dinner: Impossible' with a guy named Bryan O'Reilly and I shot the pilot as a 30 minute show and we sold it.

I had written two cookbooks, and they had done well, but I wanted to move to fitness, because it's big with me.

America was built on immigrants, and what they bring 'to the table.'
Robert Irvine
Image
What I learned about America is that anything is possible, but sometimes people get into businesses they shouldn't be in. They go in without capital or know how, but their mothers had told them that they could cook, and they're good with people.

Whenever I deal with children or the military, that becomes special to me.
