That all the food that i eat on it actually tastes really good. People assume that it's really, really disgusting - I can't believe you eat those things! but 95% of the time the food's really good. Except for the time I ate a 100 year old egg.

Stouffer's french bread pizza. It is my favorite thing. When I'm in the supermarket, I always have to fight the urge to buy it. And the whole last month I was pregnant with my daughter, I lived on it and Chips Ahoy cookies.

Not really being biased but TOP CHEF. Only because I've done so many in general - TOP CHEF is the most true to life, real-time cooking competition that I've ever been on. Just "give me a challenge, set the clock, turn the cameras on, and watch it happen."

What they don't usually get to see a lot of is our interaction in the house - waking up in the morning together and having breakfast, cooking eggs for one another, making dinner and sitting around and having fun - it almost becomes like a little dysfunctional family living together. It's actually - to be honest - the hardest thing for me and all of us, being in that house, and being pulled out your normal day to day. Imagine 6 weeks in your life of no TV, no magazines, no cell phone - you're totally and completely away from your regular life and you can only deal with the people on the show. NO BOOKS! When we were alone in the house - we spent a lot of time together. Whether it was card games or board games or cooking for one another...

Hahaha! It ranges... my favorite thing to eat after I've had the longest day cooking the most extravagant things is a bowl of cereal. Every chef movie you see, you'll see us eating cereal! Every movie makes a joke about chef cabinets with tons of cereal boxes. Or my Sunday night dinners of extravagant pasta - of spaghetti with olive oil, pecorino cheese, and black pepper, lots & lots of black pepper... crispy italian bread with olive oil & garlic... and that's it. When I'm at home, it's super-super simple.
