Legendary Magicians

"Teller's is hazelnut. Teller loves the hazelnut. I like it simple. Give me a chocolate cake and don't put cherries in there. When you've got chocolate cake, leave the cherries out."

"I don't like a lot of stuff stuck in there. I like a good strong chocolate or a good strong vanilla. I also like pistachio."

"I would like, i think, orange jello with pineapple and grated carrots in it with a little bit of mayonnaise on top."

Award-Winning Pastry Chef

"That's a tough one, but I would have to say just a chocolate cake and chooclate filling."

"My favorite ice cream flavor is mint chocolate chip. No doubt."

"Cookies over brownies for sure."

"My favorite doughnut is a classic, simple glazed doughnut."

"My ultimate guilty pleasure is for sure pizza. I could eat it every day."

"My favorite cake flavor has always been funfetti with vanilla icing."

"Brownies."

"Pralines and cream."

"I'm a big froyo fan, but I like to really pack it on. I like to get the brownie bits, the cookie dough, rainbow sprinkles and carmel."

"It would be sushi. I just love sushi. I like sashimi, so I like albacore, salmon. I also like a hand roll that has cucumber, salmon and avocado."

"Pizza!"

"Keep it simple. Right now, I really like doing marble-quartz counters which is really good, because they're durable. You can spill anything on them, and they won't stain like normal marble. They're not porous. Lighting, I love a really pretty blingy chandelier. Something you can add in the kitchen above an island. I'd also say white shaker cabinets, because they look clean, they're not as expensive and they never go out of style. And lastly a good paint color. I really like light grey."

Winner of Food Network Star, Season 6. Judge on Guy's Grocery Games.

"Salty chocolate. That's my favorite."

"Chocolate cake."

"It used to be that I was obsessed with chocolate cake. Anything with chocolate, like fifteen layers of chocolate, and then recently I've rediscovered very clean, simple chiffon cake."

"Anything a la mode."

"It would probably be ice cream. I can't say no. If it's bad, it's great. If it's good, it's awesome."

“I would have to say that my favorite cake flavor is probably carrot cake. I like to give the illusion of wellness. Carrots are in there. It's probably good.”

“My favorite ice cream flavor would have to be either a vanilla bean, like a truly excellent vanilla bean or a truly, truly excellent chocolate with a little bit of chili.”

“Brownies. Between cookies and brownies, definitely brownies.”

"Oh, I love key lime pie. I love key lime pie. I’m not going to lie, I’m more of a pie person. You have such a variety of both flavor and texture. For me, I feel like cakes kind of just hit one note over and over again. With pie you’re just on this roller coaster of texture.”

“I’m a sucker for a beignet. Anything that’s airy that’s structurally sound on the outside but then you bite into it and it’s just totally different. I just like juxtaposition.”

"Probably the peach. There's something about it."

“My typical weekend breakfast is usually some sort of egg and some sort of bean and some sort of tortilla.”

"It would be rice. You can turn it into mochi. You can turn it into noodles. You can turn it into crackers. You can turn it into cereal. You can puff it. You can steam it. I’d probably go with rice just because you can do a lot of things with it.”

Host of Fast N' Loud on Discovery Channel.

"When I was growing up, my dream car was always a ’68 Shelby Mustang. That’s just one car I had to, had to have. I finally, over the years, have had a few, but I’ve got one now that I’ll never sell. It’s a ’68 Shelby GT 500 convertible."

"My first car was a 1974 Mercury Comet. I’ve looked for it forever, I just haven’t found it yet."

"I’m a chocolate guy at, like midnight. No matter what time I’ve gone to bed, I get up at midnight and I have a little bit of chocolate."

"When it comes to cake flavors, I’m probably a vanilla bean guy. I like to have that real strong vanilla taste."

"When it comes to ice cream, I’m down for some mint chocolate chip."

"If I could only eat one thing for the rest of my life, I’d have to say it would be beef jerky. I’m from Texas, there’s a lot of different kinds of beef jerky and I’m downing a big bag of beef jerky pretty much almost every day."
