I can't deliver lines, but I can talk about food all night long.

I think steak is the ultimate comfort food, and if you're going out for one, that isn't the time to scrimp on calories or quality.

A steak needs fat to taste great.

Recipes tell you nothing. Learning techniques is the key.

I call all chefs cooks. They're all cooks. That's what we do, we cook. You're a chef when you're running a kitchen.

Every chef should have an understanding of pastries or desserts.

I know from personal experience, if a chef yelled at me in a kitchen, the first thing I'd want to do is hit them with a pot.

I think the most effective way to run a kitchen is to teach, not to just yell.

In an ideal world for me, school lunch would be free for everybody.

Once you have your basics down, you can start breaking the rules.

I hate okra and grated mountain yam for the same reason. They're both slimy.

Faith moves mountains. Religion strip-mines them.

Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.

The audience requires not information but drama.

All information of a spiritual or personal nature will have to come from our father, who art in heaven, and I think he's in New York right now.

Another advantage of avoiding sodas is that you will avoid the caffeine that is in many of them. Caffeine is a weak diuretic that causes calcium loss via the kidneys.

The myth that the founding of American Republic was based on the philosophy of John Locke could only have been maintained, because the history of Leibniz's influence was suppressed.

My goal is to forever do stand up.

And I know that God made the heart the most fragile and resilient of all organs, that a lifetime of joy and pain might be encased in one mortal chamber.

Maybe it's time we got back to the basics of love.
