- Chef Paul: "I know... can't leave home without it." Chef Paul says this after receiving a green ID pass at the entrance to the Beard Home for the Culinarily Challenged. The line spoofs a long running 1990's series of American Express card commericals (the AmEx card is about the same color as the pass) whose tagline was "Don't leave home without it."
