From Japan to Thailand, I keep discovering amazing talent, cuisine and food markets.
— Daniel Boulud
25 years ago, when I started in New York, I had the pleasure to cook for Andy Warhol. At the time, I could have traded art for food - I should have done so, because I could get his work for nothing!
Le Cirque at first was one of those general French restaurants in town, which were cooking more or less the same food. At Le Cirque, I wanted to do something different while respecting the foundation of the restaurant. I did that through the menu.
The food being presented at the most expensive restaurants, by the most sophisticated chefs, was not always recognizable as food to the diner - it required a leap of faith, and I felt curious about that phenomenon.
— Dana Goodyear
I find that people in the food world are amazingly willing to talk about what they are doing, even when those things are quasi-legal or taboo.
I never pictured L.A. as a hub for amazing food, which I learned quite quickly is sheer naivete. The restaurants here are insane.
— Dan Levy
How is it that mercury is not safe for food additives and Over the Counter drug products, but it is safe in our vaccines and dental amalgams?
— Dan Burton
We need the humbleness and clarity to see that our food, while benefitting from technological advances, has benefitted even more from free ecological resources: Cheap energy, lots of water everywhere, and a stable climate.
— Dan Barber
At its very best, the Western model speaks for itself. It's the model that put food on the table. It's the refrigerators. It put a man on the moon.
— Dambisa Moyo
Where we can, I'd like to cut out sugars. I don't want to make food that is unhealthy.
— Damaris Phillips
All we want is food that tastes good, truthfully.
For a food lover with a big imagination, there's nothing worse than eating the exact same meal several days in a row.
I like 'Man v. Food,' 'Diners Drive-ins and Dives.' 'Restaurant Impossible' is pretty good, too.
— Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I love my food and I like to snack a lot so I need to workout in order to keep in shape.
— Daisy Lowe
The worst vice of the solitary is the worship of his food.
— Cyril Connolly
I eat some fruit every day, but not too much and almost no processed food. I stay away from sweets, except 80 per cent chocolate.
— Cynthia Kenyon
Keep it simple in the kitchen. If you use quality ingredients, you don't need anything fancy to make food delicious: just a knife, a cutting board, and some good nonstick cookware, and you're set.
— Curtis Stone
Something I learned when I was very young: with cooking, it doesn't matter where you are; you can always cook. You can end up in small village in Peru where somebody's cooking, take a spoon and taste it, and you might not be too sure what you're eating, but you can taste the soul in the food. That's what is beautiful with food.
I think D.C. has always been very, very vibrant for food. Like Boston in a way. Boston and D.C. were really the two cities that were the most active with their local chefs and their local food scene.
There are wonderful restaurants in London. I love Indian food and I like Arab food, and I go very often to the Arab restaurant Noura.
— Daniel Barenboim
I think for diners, it is about crafting an identity around food which we have not really had in a mainstream way in this country. So there is a mass movement of people who identify themselves through their food preferences or even just that they prioritize food - that's where we get this idea of being a foodie.
My relationship to food is that of an acrophobe to a bridge. Unease masks a desire to jump.
I love food, and I'm a foodie; I try to hit as many restaurants as I can.
Serve yourself, put the food away, then eat.
— Dan Buettner
If you look at the carrying capacity of agricultural areas throughout the world, their ecological habitats are changing. So I think we're looking at - in our lifetime - great collapses of food services.
My husband is a vegetarian. So it has really pushed me as a chef. Just thinking about the food that I really relied on as my hunny-hunting foods, that looks different with a vegetarian.
It's always good to update your food. It's always exciting to learn and update new flavor profiles.
If you want to eat more vegetarian food, you don't have to become a vegetarian. It doesn't have to be an identity overhaul.
I love Seattle. I lived out in Seattle for a while, and the food there is so phenomenal. It's so fresh and gorgeous, and just beautiful and simple. I really love that place.
Even when a person has all of life's comforts - good food, good shelter, a companion - he or she can still become unhappy when encountering a tragic situation.
— Dalai Lama
I love food, and my girlfriend comes from an architecture background, so we might open up a restaurant.
— Dacre Montgomery
I've always wanted to do something in the food and beverage world. Part of my MO is to go into unchartered territory. I enjoy a challenge.
— Cynthia Rowley
There are lots of different strategies that an animal can use to survive. What a worm does is try to convert food into worms as soon as possible. In three days a single worm produces 300 progeny. So why put your resources into developing if you can make a brand-new worm in no time at all?
In my travels, I also noticed that kids in Thailand like spicy food, and kids in India love curry. I'm hoping to introduce my son, Hudson, to lots of veggies and spices when he's young. I say that before he's started on solid foods, so it could be easier in theory than practice!
For me, the food I like to make is the food I can enjoy all the time anytime. It's not too calculated or technical.
I think at Le Cirque I learned how to make real food, which is what people crave, not just gimmicky things on a plate.
Food as a hobby used to be an elite pastime, and it has become something that is totally ordinary for people of every background. In that way, we see the growing up of the American food scene: that it's okay to be a regular person and be really into food.
Food is a lens for culture.
Being offended is, in itself, an unpleasant sensation, just like pain in your mouth is an unpleasant sensation, but if you have the right amount with the right amount of food, it actually makes the food taste good. So if you have just the right combination, people will laugh despite feeling like it's wrong.
— Dan Mintz
When I feel like treating myself, I'll either turn to food or clothes. Bad food. Expensive clothes. Ironically, I'm usually rewarding myself for a solid week of healthy eating or a nice paycheque.
People complain that cities don't have fresh, sustainable food, but it's just not true.
The less food, the more time to talk, the more to talk about.
— Damon Wayans
I like to create events where people are going to make memories, and that always starts and ends with food in my life.
I hope to use food as a way to connect with people.
FoodSaver containers extend the life of my food so I can have fresh food ready all week long.
I tend to eat vegetables only when I'm with the kids and the rest of the time, I'm a bit slack. But, I am weight-conscious, so I concentrate on avoiding junk food.
— Daley Thompson
One of life's finest things is enjoying your food.
We are determined that expropriation without compensation should be implemented in a way that increases agricultural production, improves food security, and ensure that land is returned to those from who it was taken under colonialism and apartheid.
— Cyril Ramaphosa
I love spicy food.
— Cynthia Nixon
There are days when I'm completely obsessed with Kate Bush, and there are days when I'm completely obsessed with the Eurythmics. Then it's Aretha Franklin, then it's Lena Horne, then it's Ella Fitzgerald, then it's John Legend, then it's Michael Jackson. Music, to me, is like food, so I feel like whatever I need that day, I can get from a song.
— Cynthia Erivo
