"Wait. Why am I thinking about Krispy Kremes? We’re supposed to be exercising."

"Owners of dogs will have noticed that, if you provide them with food and water and shelter and affection, they will think you are god. Whereas owners of cats are compelled to realize that, if you provide them with food and water and shelter and affection, they draw the conclusion that they are gods."

"Empty packets of hot sauce remind me of the love I used to have for her. Now all I’m left with is this yummy taco."

"After a good dinner one can forgive anybody, even one's own relations."

"I cook with wine, sometimes I even add it to the food."

"It’s absolutely unfair for women to say that guys only want one thing: sex. We also want food."

"What the mass media offers is not popular art, but entertainment which is intended to be consumed like food, forgotten, and replaced by a new dish."

"When you don't fit in anymore, eat less."

"Quit making shade while I’m trying to make noon. Go put on a blindfold and act like midnight. There’s leftover love in the freezer if you get cold."

"She asked for the time, and I said that information is for sale—by the slice. 60 slices in a whole pie."

"Parla come magni,' It means, 'Speak the way you eat,' or in my personal translation: 'Say it like you eat it.' It's a reminder - when you're making a big deal out of explaining something, when you're searching for the right words - to keep your language as simple and direct as Roman rood. Don't make a big production out of it. Just lay it on the table."

"Knowledge is the food of the soul."

"Farms and food production should be, I submit, at least as important as who pierced their navel in Hollywood this week. Please tell me I'm not the only one who believes this. Please. As a culture, we think we're well educated, but I'm not sure that what we've learned necessarily helps us survive."

"Your words are my food, your breath my wine. You are everything to me."

"The preparation of good food is merely another expression of art, one of the joys of civilized living…"

"If we had no hope - for a cure, for winning the lottery, for falling in love, for the end of war, for being free of abuse, or for having food, warmth, clothing, and shelter - we would have no reason to go on. What you hope for doesn't matter, but rather the essence of hope itself."

"The first time you see something that you have never seen before, you almost always know right away if you should eat it or run away from it."

"To make my meal in a box taste better, I decided to tweak the logo, rather than the ingredients."

"A Paradox, the doughnut hole. Empty space, once, but now they've learned to market even that. A minus quantity; nothing, rendered edible. I wondered if they might be used-metaphorically, of course-to demonstrate the existence of God. Does naming a sphere of nothingness transmute it into being?"

"My contribution I hope is to get people to eat full-flavored food. If I could come away with that alone, that would be a fantastic accomplishment. I'm also very proud of being a very American chef."
