Quotes

  • I never eat sushi or rare meat; I always order my meat well-done. Sometimes I think this makes me a bad foodie, but then I worry more about getting a bacterial infection than I do about culinary authenticity. - Julia Serano
  • I've long believed that good food, good eating, is all about risk. Whether we're talking about unpasteurized Stilton, raw oysters or working for organized crime 'associates', food, for me, has always been an adventure. - Anthony Bourdain
  • I like to walk into a room and be able to tell that a woman lives there. I'm not talking about a room with photos of babies and relatives on display. It's okay if she hasn't dusted and picked up before I come over - you can't get a sense of what someone's place is like unless she lives in it - but there should be evidence of her life. - Pork Magazine
