After-party plans?
I'm going home. No, I'm going to Gramercy Tavern to congratulate the team there, and then I'm going home.
What happened to the Chang mobile?
You know, David asked me to go on the Chang mobile and it was too much for me.
What happens on the Chang bus?
I have no idea, and even if I did, I would be sworn to secrecy. Journalists are just not invited to the Chang mobile.
Is the Chang mobile a one-time thing, or does David always have a party bus?
I think it's this one night only. David does not have a permanent party bus as far as I know. But I go home when I'm done cooking. I'm not young like those guys. I can't do what they do anymore. I work, I go home.
Does a faux-hawk make you a better chef?
I don’t think it’s like a Samson thing, where your faux-hawk gives you strength. In fact, I don't think anyone who’s had a faux-hawk has won.
What about Hung?
I would not classify that as a faux-hawk.
So do shaved heads make you a better chef?
That’s just great. Men with shaved heads are always better. Just ask my wife. [To wife Lori Silverbush] Aren’t shaved heads great?
Silverbush: Much easier on the thighs.
Colicchio: [blushing and laughing hysterically] That was off the record!
