We're achieving better marbling and better flavor with old world wisdom that's been passed down for generations but we're still using technology.

When you pursue great flavor, you also pursue great ecology.

The greatest lesson came with the realization that good food cannot be reduced to single ingredients. It requires a web of relationships to support it.

Conventional agriculture has never succeeded in feeding the world, and it's never produced anything good to eat. For the future, we need to look toward alternatives.

I'm not here to say I don't eat vegetables - I do, a lot of them - but, from a soil perspective, they're actually more costly than a cow grazing on grass.

If you just think exclusively about what would be the best tasting or the most profitable, you're just not seeing the big picture.

I think all chefs who pursue great flavor have good ethics.

Clean plates don't lie.

It takes fifteen pounds of wild fish to get you one pound of farm tuna. Not very sustainable. It doesn't taste very good either.

Donald Trump called George W. Bush 'the worst president in the history of the United States.' Then he added, 'Until, of course, I'm elected.'

Ultimately, we have to have the wall on the border. If we don't have the wall, we are doing nothing.

No man should go through life without once experiencing healthy, even bored solitude in the wilderness, finding himself depending solely on himself and thereby learning his true and hidden strength

Hey, if I had my choice for social engineering, I'd declare an automatic R-rating for any movie that depicts television commercials. There's a truly dangerous influence on our children.

Come around, feel the sound. Know you make my heart pound. Fill me up, bring me down; when I hear your sound.

you could be ordinary and attempt something extraordinary, without being able to explain it in a logical way.

Punishment is not prevention. History offers cold comfort to those who think grievance and despair can be subdued by force.

When you know your cast well and their strengths and weaknesses, you can start writing for them, just the way Shakespeare wrote for his actors.
