Like paella on an open fire. Ooh, yeah, like a big cast iron pot. When I was young, my father was a cook at heart, but he was a nurse. But when he was not at the hospital, he would be cooking for friends on the weekends. My mom was more Monday through Friday. My father was more the weekend cook. And the paella is something he will invite 10, 20, 30, 40 people. He had different sizes.

My father would invite everybody. But he would never keep count of whom. 10 could show up or 30. My mom always was like... But how do we prepare? My dad said, ah, big problems have easy solutions, simple solutions. If more people come, we add more rice to the pan. But he always brought extra pans because he never knew the size. He put me in charge of making the fire.

He would send me to the forest. I'll gather the wood. I'll make the fire. He'd put the pie on top, three rocks or whatever. One day I got very upset because I wanted to cook. I knew how to do the fire. I was tired of the fire. I wanted to cook the paella. But the fire required somebody dedicated. My father got upset with me because I was very persistent, sent me away. He cooked without me.

When he came back, when I came back and everybody ate, he told me, my son, everybody wants to do the cooking. Everybody wants to stir the pot. Nobody seems to be interested in making the fire. Actually, making the fire is the most important thing. Control the fire. And then you can do any cooking you want.

I don't know if my father's words were as deep as now, many years later, I made them to become in my brain. But I think my father was trying to tell me that. That obviously was a great direct lesson for John Cook in the making. But I think my father, in a way, that was a great metaphor for life itself. Find your fire. Control your fire. Master it. And then, my friend, go and do the cooking.

When you set up Bizarre Meats... In Vegas, what made you decide to cook over open fire that way with hardwood, which I really love, those grill works grills with the Argentine-style grills with the wheel. You raise and lower the grill over the natural wood fire.

I love that. I've seen that since I was a little boy.
