Pitchfork: You found your biggest success in your forties – was it strange hitting the top at a comparatively late age?

BR: “But that’s not how I measure success. How I measure success is getting to make another record and being able to the come back to the same town and play again cause you sold out the last time. To me, I was successful all the way up to Nick of Time. I had a moderate, steady following, and for about four years there, I had a much bigger following. My career is based on the slow build of an audience based on putting on a good show live and putting out a record every couple of years. I was already doing really well in terms of my goals, to keep my fans coming back.”

*Remember that YOU measure your own success.

What are your business or financial goals?

“When you saw those two Kitchen Nightmares condensed into one – last year when they had those 298 ‘fucks’ – I wasn’t proud of that. There has come a time when, at the age of 43, I’m getting a bit tired of the foul-mouthed bully chef.”

National Cappuccino Day – November 8​

“This soup is one of my signature dishes. A thick white bean puree is transformed into a light and frothy “cappuccino”, then garnished with exquisite truffle shavings.

*Enjoy this play on cappuccino as a white bean soup compliments of Gordon Ramsey. When you do make it, don’t mess up or he will fuck you up. Enjoy.

I was born in Northwestern Pennsylvania and lived in a trailer park. I was raised by very conservative and religious (Wesleyan Methodist) parents. By some miracle I graduated college and moved to Florida. I have been a public school teacher since 1995. I have 7 years until I can retire. I was married in 1999 and divorced in 2001. I remarried in 2017 to Kate - 21 years my junior. Some of my life experiences as a 46-year-old, white American male, will come through in my writing, but the majority of this daily journey will be dedicated to improving myself, and hopefully you as well.
