Quote

I am in no way supportive of hunting for trophies or sport - would never do it and don't like it that others do. But if you kill it, then eat it, it's fine.

Meals make the society, hold the fabric together in lots of ways that were charming and interesting and intoxicating to me. The perfect meal, or the best meals, occur in a context that frequently has very little to do with the food itself.

I listen a lot to how people speak. I've read a great many good books in my life. I had some excellent English teachers. Surely, those things were helpful.

For a dinner date, I eat light all day to save room, then I go all in: I choose this meal and this order, and I choose you, the person across from me, to share it with. There's a beautiful intimacy in a meal like that.

If you’re twenty-two, physically fit, hungry to learn and be better, I urge you to travel – as far and as widely as possible. Sleep on floors if you have to. Find out how other people live and eat and cook. Learn from them – wherever you go.

I'm a control freak. If you're going to slap my name on something, I would like to control it.

As you move through this life...you leave marks behind, however small. And in return, life - and travel - leaves marks on you.

What nicer thing can you do for somebody than make them breakfast?

It's wrong I think, morally and annoying in general, to try to get a kid to be a foodie, so I never even suggested, Hey baby it's good, maybe you should try it. That never worked for me.

Cooking breakfast and brunch professionally really kind of ruined breakfast service for me for a long time.

I won't eat in a restaurant with filthy bathrooms. This isn't a hard call. They let you see the bathrooms. If the restaurant can't be bothered to replace the puck in the urinal or keep the toilets and floors clean, then just imagine what their refrigeration and work spaces look like.
