“My proudest moment as a father would have to be when my 3-year-old daughter gave me a compliment I won’t ever forget. It was right after one of the first times she watched me on TV cooking for a segment. When I came home, she walked up to me with such pride, looked me in the eye, and told me I was her prince charming. Her genuine excitement was better than any constructive praise I could have received. Those words coming from my little girl made all the hard work and late nights during these past 15 years worth it.” —Johnny Chu, executive chef at The Mint and father of Maila Q, 3, and Livya Q, 2
