I think a lot of food shows especially when we started 'Good Eats' back in the late '90s they were still really about food. 'Good Eats' isn't about food it's about entertainment. If however we can virally infect you with knowledge or interest then all the better.

So what's it like in the real world? Well the food is better but beyond that I don't recommend it.

I'm working harder than ever now and I'm putting on my pants the same as I always have. I just get up every day and try to do a little better than the day before and that is to run a great restaurant with great food great wine and great service. That's my philosophy.

No man will be a sailor who has contrivance enough to get himself into a jail for being in a ship is being in a jail with the chance of being drowned... a man in a jail has more room better food and commonly better company.

Flowers always make people better happier and more helpful they are sunshine food and medicine for the soul.

The only think I like better than talking about Food is eating.

My philosophy from day one is that I can sleep better at night if I can improve an individual's knowledge about food and wine and do it on a daily basis.

Health food may be good for the conscience but Oreos taste a hell of a lot better.

A crust eaten in peace is better than a banquet partaken in anxiety.

You better cut the pizza in four pieces because I'm not hungry enough to eat six.
