6:19 am
he chooses things carefully. isis smart about it did he death about it. brand, accessible, she has beens doing that for a very long time. rachel: i am a fan of all of them. i think they are all accessible in their own way. is he like about bobby has done a lot for our show and the young people. i love seeing him with young people. he is so focused. he doesn't do stuff for the cameras. he does things with integrity will that's integrity. there was a helmet teacher that that-- a home at teacher
6:20 am
does so much for these kids. we only shop for just a few minutes. the cameras were off and he sat there and he coached them and advise them. emily: all of you are big brands but you also endorse products. kohl's -- with rachel: the first thing i designed was spaghetti pop. you look all sweaty before you have done anything. and all of the stoneware and the but it's notans like i am a spokesperson or them or have a license to sell their products. amalie: but you put your name behind them. rachel: but i want them to

survey unction. it is all practical and goes back to what mario said. >> and there are a lot of chefs who don't. they will go to somewhere in china and put their name on them and it does not make it a bad business model. but there is a lot of people that you can see on qvc on a regular basis and they are collections-- $100 which is a quick way to capitalize on their budget factor.
6:22 am
all kinds of things that are not a bad idea. that if you want to manage a brand, you have to make sure that it's the high quality you assume that you are going to eat. me andger people come to they have opportunities. you are a great position and there will be lots of opportunities. are going toat you be shipped to are the things that you say no to.
6:23 am
>> tell me what you said no to. >> i say no to things all day long whether it is different grills, food products, i'm talking about life-changing opportunities. your gut knows immediately if it does not seem right. you have to walk away. >> i have a rule of thumb. if i use it i will endorse it. i sell this in my restaurants. it did not but me. i slept at night. >> i have said no to tomato sauce and frozen dinners. >> some people believe those competition shows are rigged. >> we are not actually cooking. >> it takes you 20 years to build the brand and three bad days to wreck the entire thing. ♪
6:24 am
6:25 am
6:26 am
>> you all are celebrities in your own right. there are celebrities themselves from hollywood who are trying to get into the food business. i think about gwyneth paltrow. she has done a show with you, right? didn't you travel through spain with her? >> yeah. somebody had to do it and these guys turned it down, so i took the gig. >> what a terrible job. >> you had eva longoria, who has opened restaurants. justin timberlake, jay-z, all these folks. what do you think about these celebrities trying to get into your business?
6:27 am
>> good for them. >> it's fair play. >> it creates more awareness in general for the food industry. if someone like jay-z is involved in a restaurant -- i was talking to mario before we sat down. i said, technically jay-z is your partner, isn't he? he's, like, yeah, we own the spotted pig together. i think that is pretty cool that jay-z is interested in food. when you listen to jay-z's music, he talks about food all the time. >> he is fascinated by it, loves it. he is not going to build a jay-z cheesesteak place. smart people invest in people that know what they're doing. if i was going to get into the computer business, i would call apple or dell. i wouldn't call my brother's cousin's friend's neighbor who i heard had a good idea. [laughter] the smart business people are paying attention and doing that. other people are trying to capitalize. it is like putting your sticker on commercial goods someone bought from china. that's one way to go, and none of them are wrong, but there is probably less longevity in the put your sticker on something you don't really underand.
6:28 am
>> owning and operating a restaurant is more than just about having the capital. it is a lot more complated than that. >> everyone has a fascination about food and restaurants. a lot of people want a piece of it. we have a mutual friend who loves food, loves to cook. he's not interested in vesting in restaurants, but he just loves food. >> and he'll obsess. he'll send 17 or 18 text messages whether he is doing it right today. the beauty of our field is that there is no entrance fee. you can come in and cook any time y want. our job is to provide you with the confidence that you can do it a follow a reci book or follow a cooking segment or follow you on page six if that happens to be where you happen to be. there is a vicarious pleasure to eating a preparing delicious food. >> the average person has a very strange undending of what chefs do. the way i like to explain it is it is, if you're going to see a piece of classical music, most likely the person who wrote that
6:29 am
music has long passed. so, who gets top billing? the conductor. you go to see the conductor. you do not expect the conductor to pick up a violin and start playing. if you did, it would be absolute chaos. the chef writes the music. we are in the kitchen to orchestrate. we are not actually cooking. cooks cook. sous chefs cook a little less. as chefs are writing the menus and recipes. it is our way of setti uth kitchen. we areching and exuting. we are not in there playing the fiddle every night. >> when you get to a brand as big as all of you, how do you make sure that your restaurants are producing the kind of food that you want them to produce? because you have to check your t the door. the second you think no one else can do what you can, then you cannot. if you are convinced you're the only one who can do it, you should do it. check your ego.
6:30 am
>> check your ego. bobby: i think tom really touched on it. one of the things is about being chef is being the coach of the team, the supervisor, being the last word on what that food is supposed to look and taste like and how it gets executed. make sure they do not take shortcuts. make sure they are tasting the food as well as you are. make sure they are checking for seasoning. betty: do you hire everybody? bobby: do i? no, that would be impossible. but i have chefs and sous chefs who answer to me every single day, running each one of my kitchens. i have six high-end restaurants and i have 14 burger places. so, it would be impossible for me to hire every single person. even in the burger places, at bobby's burger palace, the check average is $10 as opposed to $75, $85, $95 at one of my restaurants, but we still train the cooks with proper technique, the same technique fundamentals that we would train someone in the high-end restaurants. betty: where did you learn that? where did you come up with that? when you say the same technique, who did you model that after?
6:31 am
bobby: i have very little formal training in terms of school. as we know, i did not graduate high school. tty: right. boy: i dropped out when i was in ninth grade. i had to get my equivalency diploma to go to culinary school, so then i went to culinary school. i learned from living, livg life. the only way i could figure out how to do it is to dit practically and figure out how to get it done. the only way i knew how to get it done then is the same way i get it done today, which is to never rest on your laurels, make sure that people do the fundamentals every day. i walk around the kitchens. i do not spend a lot of time fixing really fancy sauces. the thing i say more than anything else is -- did you season it on both sides with salt and pepper? it is the fundamentals. a good basketball coach will tell you the same thing. put the ball down. i do not want to see if you can shoot. i want to see if you can dribble with both hands. and i take the same approach as a coach in my kitchens. betty: i want you to construct a dish using cherry coke. rachel: yes, please. bobby: "iron chef" -- i've done 80 of them.

6:33 am
6:34 am
♪ betty liu: you are all tv stars.
6:35 am
and all of you started loving food, started as chefs. what is it like now to be television stars? people see you as chefs, but they also see you as a television star. mario batali: it is really good 80% of the time and it is not very interesting 20% of the time. because if i am sitting there with my kids and i want to have a nice little breakfast, i have sold a part of that down the tubes because i have agreed to meet the customers on the street. i like it. it is fun. it is fun to be popular. it always was. i don't know this from high school, but i learned later on. [laughter] but there is a lot of good to it, and the little bit that is bad about it -- if you do not want to talk to your customers, you should be home. don't go out there and treat them with anything other than respect. it takes you 20 years to build a brand and three bad days to wreck the entire thing. the learning lesson is if you do not feel like engaging in a positive way, you should try to stay out of their way. betty: do you like those cooking competitions, do you like those game shows, bobby, that you have been part of and you have judged? bobby flay: yeah, otherwise i wouldn't do them. i do not apologize for anything i do. i did a show on nbc called "america's next great
6:36 am
restaurant" that lasted for only one season, but i had a great time doing it. we went through the process of trying to find somebody to create a new business. of course, i have done five years of "throwdown." tom does "top chef." it is part of our culture now that competition is in food and i love it. listen, "iron chef" -- i have done 80 of them. i actually love doing "iron chef" because i do not have to talk to anyone. i can just cook. it's actually kind of nice. betty: what do you think viewers get out of it? what do americans get out of a competition like that? bobby: it's voyeurism. they are rooting. they want to see what happens at the end. they obviously pick a side at some point in the hour. they want you to win or lose, and that is what holds the viewer. mario: keep in mind though that the competition exists because the tv people know that there is something called stickiness. if there is no reason to stay to the end of the show, you will not sell your advertising all the way through. there is the payoff at the end which they are relying on to keep the viewer watching. that is self-perpetuating.
6:37 am
we are looking for another way to go here, and it still will be reality competition shows for some time. betty: does it annoy you when someone says, ah, bobby flay, he's a tv star, he is not a real chef? rachael: does anybody say that? bobby: of course they do. >> people say it all the time about all of us. bobby: i would say that most of the consumers would not say that. i think that what we hear mostly are people who are in our business, our contemporaries, and i think a lot of it stems from some jealousies. i know a ton of people who said to me i cannot believe you're doing television when it all first started. and mario can talk about this as well. they also there tapes in and basically everne is on television. its amazing. betty: rhael, what is yo relationship like with the netwk? raael ra i have a great retionship our ytime syndicated show is partners with scripps, parent company to food network an cooking channel. wo larly with the same people all throughout my year. lm the daytime show from

septembeto may. we do 180 episod of at. then during the er i dmy food netwond cng channel projects. there's a lot of the same pele who come back and forth wi mn ou a dozen years or so. i like that continuity. betty: by the way, those competition shows -- and i'm not talking about "top chef" itself, but some people believe those shows are rigged. bobby: let them believe it. who cares? bobby: who cares? [laughter] rachael: we can't focus on negative energy. bobby: the one thing we can't do is waste a lot of energy trying to get everybody to believe that we are actually trying to put on something that is real. it is exhausting. those people are watching, too, so we invite them in. it's ok. if you want to watch -- mario: conspiracy theories sell lots of books. bobby: exactly.j1 i want to have you guy construct a dish for a frequent guest on my program, someone that many people know in
6:39 am
america. so, mario, let me start with you. lloyd blankfein is seone we have had on bloomberg television quite often. i want you to construct a dish that you would coofor the goldman sachs ceo with new york hot dogs. bobby flay, don thompson is someone i know well. he is the ceo of mcdonald's. i want you to construct a dish for hi-- bobby: no problem. betty: using the sweet-and-sour sauce mcdonald's. bobby: ok. betty: tom colicchio, warren buffett is someone that i have talked to quite often. he loves cherry coke. so, i want you to construct a dish using cherry coke. tom colicchio: sure, i'm the coke guy, right? yeah. great. mario: you signed that deal, buddy. betty: rachael, i will give you a bit of a curveball. elon musk is a billionaire, founder of tesla, the electric carmaker. rachael: those are really cool. they are very cute. betty: he is south african. so, a south african food is biltong, which is a kind of beef
6:40 am
jerky. nt you tconstruct a sh usinbeef jerky. ri yo'ad a second to ink about it. at wou you make ll blankfein? mario: first of al wld op one of the hogs do i get more than hot dog? i wod chopne of em uan dredget with flour and salt and pepper and some cayenne an make it nice a crispy and hot. i would take t other one, i would butterfly it open until it was flat, dredge in flour an i would make a hotdog schnze and serve it wh a crispy hoog salsa rachl: yes, please bett 'm upor that. bobby? bobby: he is the ceo of mcdonald's, you said? >> he's your competition. bobby: yes. i'm not going to try to serve him a hamburger. i think mcdonald's could use a little more vegetables in its life. so, i will use the sweet-and-sour sce and i will do a roasted cauliflower, agua in an earthenware dish, and put it in an oven and roast it.
6:41 am
and there you go. tt sous good. tom? tom: a midwest guy, he probably likes beef. so, let's braise some short ribs in cherry coke, but let's cut that sweetness with a lot of vinegar. how's that? betty: all right. rachl? rachael: i do make a great homemade beef jerky i make for my family every year and i give it to all the dads in my family. has a lot of worcestershire, juniper, beer, soy. so, i could make him my homemade tch of jerky. or you could bring the jerky back to life, make aurand stack it on it like a bacon cheeseburger, but a jerky chseburger. that could be good, too. betty: that sounds good. tom: if elected officials aren't going to get behind this, they shou be labeled pro hunger. mario: we should be thinking about bugs. let's start getting used to it. betty: eating bugs. bobby: i cannot even imagine the idea of it. >> we'd need a lot more rose. bobby: bring on the rose. ♪

♪ betty liu: tom, you have just executive produced a film called "a place at the table." rachael ray: fantastic film, by the way. betty: talking all about how to get kids to eat healthier and how to get the government to care about it.
6:45 am
why can't we get proper food into our kids? who do you blame? tom colicchio: that's a very complex question. bobby flay: so many people. to i don't know if we have enough time to address everything. mario: as opposed to blame, what can we do? rachael: it's actually not all bad news. the health and hunger-free child act was the first increase -- not engh, but it was the first increase -- betty: that is criticized in tom's film. >> i criticize that. >> and i agree. tom: the president asked for $10 billion. it getordered down to $8 billion, then it gets down to $4.5 billion, and they take half the money from snap. rachael: i cannot understand why both sides of the aisle would not ha come gether on all of the money that was granted -- tom: hunger issues and obesity issues cost the country $110 billion a year. if you factor in a lack of productivity, it's $176 billion a year. you would think you would want to address that whatever side of the aisle you're on. rachael: it just does not make sense. betty: why aren't lawmakers listening? tom: because no one is asking them. hunger and food is not a voting issue. it's not like second amendment rights or reproduction rights.
6:46 am
and so, no one is out there advocating for people. there are 50 million americans who are food insecure. if all of a sudden they became a voting bloc, people would listen. mario: if you watch the movie, it outlines very clearly the problems we have both in the legislature but also in the home. people are choosing salty, fatty carbohydrates because they have been sold those. they are the cheapest. they're the ones with the least threshold. so, you are gettings something to eat. but the funniest thing is that along with the obesity, there is malnutrition. big people arenourished. they are not healthy. tom: but again, why? we have farm subsidies, $20 billion a year, and 85% of that is going to corn, wheat, and soy, all these products that go into fast food or highly-processed foods. we are only subsidizing dairy and livestock to the tune of 15% of that, and fruits and vegetables 1%. betty: what about the horsemeat scandal? i want to get your thoughts on that. tom: bobby should comment on that one. you're a horse guy. betty: that's right, you own some thoroughbred horses. bobby: i do. obviously, as an american, i cannot imagine the idea of it.
6:47 am
