I've heard other interviews with chefs who've alluded to this or similar: after spending all day and night in their own gourmet kitchen, they just want a burger, a taco, or some late-night barfood. I remember one (I forget who it was) - the interviewer said "what's your favorite meal to make at home?" His answer: "Chinese takeout."
