3. Kim Jung-suk:

   Kangwon Land does better and better as small fry keep coming, there's no off-season.

4. Executive Chef John Zucker:

   With this dish, you want to be sure not to over-fry! Keep careful watch while frying, when you pull it out of the oil, it should be perfectly golden brown before you put it back in the oven to finish baking.

5. Hank Steinberg:

   I'm deeply concerned about global warming, i mean, it's 110 degrees right now in Rome. It's 90-plus in Portland, which never gets weather like that.

As to people not really talking about it on the show, they've got bigger fish to fry. They've got to deal with the problem in front of them and try to solve it.
