I love eating. I mean, I really, really love eating.
It is no longer enough to be lusty. One must be a sexual gourmet.
The French cook; we open tins.
I love food.
Food is like music. You've got two kinds, good and bad.
Luxury is anything you don't need, right? I mean, you need food, water, clothing, shelter... but good wine, good food, beautiful interiors, nice clothes; those aren't necessities, they are luxuries - it's all luxury.
Food is for eating, and good food is to be enjoyed... I think food is, actually, very beautiful in itself.
When I wake up, I'm like, 'I gotta go to Whole Foods.' I'm constantly reading cookbooks; I bring hardcover cookbooks with me on the plane and tag pages. I just have this crazy food obsession.
Sometimes it's good to remember how bad food can be, so you can enjoy the concept of flavour to the fullest.
I look at each one of my restaurants, and I want my personality to come out. Some are serious, some are intense when it comes to food and wines, some are meat masters supreme. I enjoy all my guests.
The true gourmet, like the true artist, is one of the unhappiest creatures existent. His trouble comes from so seldom finding what he constantly seeks: perfection.
With us, it's a very specific audience. If you like steak, this is it for you.
New Zealand has better food - sorry, America.
I can't deliver lines, but I can talk about food all night long.
Food is not just eating energy. It's an experience.
I love Indian, Italian and Mexican food. And if it's a romantic type of thing, I like a good French restaurant.
Twelve-piece cookware sets for ninety-nine bucks are routinely hawked on late-night TV - often by friends of mine. But with a mere five pieces, you can do whatever you like - slay the dragon and then cook its tenderloin in the style of the duke of Wellington, if you want to.
I've always said fashion is like roast chicken: You don't have to think about it to know it's delicious.
While I'm not very talented at cooking, I am very talented at eating.
I just love food, period.
I like a lot of food. I like Taiwanese food, of course. I like baguettes, especially the ones that my dad buys. Vancouver has a lot of variety, with pizza, hot dogs, Italian, Indian, seafood - a great combination of culture.
I say everything's about company. A gourmet meal with an asshole is a horrible meal. A hot dog with an interesting person is an amazing meal.
Making food is a wonderful way to spend a Friday night.
Think of it like the best mac and cheese you've ever had. No neon yellow Velveeta and bread crumbs. I'm talking gourmet cheddar, the expensive stuff from Vermont that crackles as it melts into the crust on top. Imagine if right before you were about to tear into it, the mac and cheese starts talking to you?
Good-quality travel and good-quality food are the two luxuries that I never have any guilt indulging in.
