New Times: People are saying you choked on episode one where they had you as a waiter.
Chef Giovanni: Let them try an do what I did. Your brain freezes; it's nerve wracking. It was my first day in a brand new kitchen, you try and learn everything and study. You show me a chef that can walk in a place he never worked in -- a brand new restaurant you get a mock run so you could get a flow of things. I'm no server. Everybody got your opinions. When you're thrown into something like that, it's not the easiest thing to do.
NT: What you think about people in Vegas betting on you and the show?
CG: Let them bet. I don't know nothing about that. I wouldn't know what odds.
NT: How you feel about your competition now that the show's over?
CG: I get along with them. I have no problems with anybody. That was then. I got respect for Danny. I did this just to see if I could get on there. I'm not a showbiz person. After this, if I win or lose, I go back to the restaurant business and do what I know how to do, run a kitchen and cook food.

Keep New Times Broward-Palm Beach Free... Since we started New Times Broward-Palm Beach, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of South Florida, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering South Florida with no paywalls.
