I love trying out different cuisines. In Delhi, I love Megu at the Leela, and TK’s at the Hyatt. I also enjoy Khan Chacha’s rolls. In Mumbai, it’s Royal China and Shiro. And in Bangalore, I like the food at Bricklane.

A house is not a home unless it contains food and fire for the mind as well as the body.

I love Indian, Italian and Mexican food. And if it’s a romantic type of thing, I like a good French restaurant.

I love Velveeta cheese.

A man seldom thinks with more earnestness of anything than he does of his dinner.

There is one thing I have never taught my body how to do and that is to figure out at 6 A.M. what it wants to eat at 6 P.M.

I love a Hebrew National hot dog with an ice-cold Corona – no lime. If the phone rings, I won’t answer until I’m done.

I would say there are some foods that I strongly recommend that you do not eat. No. 1 on that list, I believe, is doughnuts. Comfort food. Zero value. Don’t eat them.

Hunger is the best pickle.

We never repent of having eaten too little.

I will not eat oysters. I want my food dead. Not sick. Not wounded. Dead.

Of course, animals have to be killed for food or to prevent their doing injury to others or to property. But such killing is too often carried out without regard to the pain inflicted.

Green Eggs and Ham was the story of my life. I wouldn’t eat a thing when I was a kid, but Dr. Seuss inspired me to try cauliflower!

I’ll bring my grits when I travel, because I get so hungry on the road.

Wherever I go, as long as I get a hot vegetable dish, I am okay. If I am in Gujarat, I have Gujarati food. If it’s Shillong, it’s northeastern.

You don’t come into cooking to get rich.

You’d have a hard time finding anything better than Barcelona for food, as far as being a hub. Given a choice between Barcelona and San Sebastian to die in, I’d probably want to die in San Sebastian.

Delhi means everything to me. This city has given me everything, and I love it.

Some people wanted champagne and caviar when they should have had beer and hot dogs.

I hid myself in food.

Going to Southeast Asia for the first time and tasting that spectrum of flavors – that certainly changed my whole palate, the kind of foods I crave. A lot of the dishes I used to love became boring to me.

Barbecue may not be the road to world peace, but it’s a start.

If I’m in Rome for only 48 hours, I would consider it a sin against God to not eat cacio e pepe, the most uniquely Roman of pastas, in some crummy little joint where Romans eat. I’d much rather do that than go to the Vatican. That’s Rome to me.

My father opened a restaurant. It’s so amazing… it’s so freaking delicious, but I’m telling you I gain five pounds every time I go in there.

But, you know, it’s still a drag to get your picture taken when you’re eating a sandwich. It’s a downer.

I love the masochistic aspect of eating seething, real Sichuan food in Sichuan Province.

Meals make the society, hold the fabric together in lots of ways that were charming and interesting and intoxicating to me. The perfect meal, or the best meals, occur in a context that frequently has very little to do with the food itself.

I’m certainly well taken care of in terms of food and clothes.

Hong Kong is a wonderful, mixed-up town where you’ve got great food and adventure. First and foremost, it’s a great place to experience China in a relatively accessible way.

I, personally, think there is a really danger of taking food too seriously. Food should be part of the bigger picture.

I can’t say this enough – the food that you put into your bodies can actually help you get better grades. And it can also affect your performance in sports and other activities too. You see, when you give your body the best possible fuel, you have more energy, you’re stronger, you think more quickly.

The equal right of all citizens to health, education, work, food, security, culture, science, and wellbeing – that is, the same rights we proclaimed when we began our struggle, in addition to those which emerge from our dreams of justice and equality for all inhabitants of our world – is what I wish for all.

You can always tell an old soldier by the inside of his holsters and cartridge boxes. The young ones carry pistols and cartridges; the old ones, grub.

I want my food dead. Not sick, not dying, dead.

What nicer thing can you do for somebody than make them breakfast?

It took me years to eat a lot of shellfish. I was probably 20 years old before I had even seen a shrimp cocktail. I like oysters, but fried.

And what, Socrates, is the food of the soul? Surely, I said, knowledge is the food of the soul.

Eating words has never given me indigestion.

People are generally proud of their food. A willingness to eat and drink with people without fear and prejudice… they open up to you in ways that somebody visiting who is driven by a story may not get.

The other night I ate at a real nice family restaurant. Every table had an argument going.

What you’re going to be eating in the next year is decided by chefs. If the consensus is that pot-bellies are in next season, that’s what’s on your plate. And I think that’s a good thing, because we know, obviously, about food.

Part of the secret of a success in life is to eat what you like and let the food fight it out inside.

I would never win an award for not loving pizza.

Onion rings in the car cushions do not improve with time.

I’ve never eaten a strawberry in my life. I have no desire to do that.

The boys know they’re from Southeast Asia, and they have their food and their music and their friends, and they have a pride particular to them.

I was mischievous. I wasn’t bad. I stole food so we could eat. My mother didn’t know. I used to tell her some man gave me $10 to sweep out the yard. I was like Robin Hood. I took from the rich and gave to the poor. Me.

I’m not looking to freak people out – eating rodents or bugs. I don’t do that anymore.

Acorns were good until bread was found.

Never order food in excess of your body weight.

Fame is a fickle food upon a shifting plate.

I have no desire to crow over anybody or to see anybody eating crow, figuratively or otherwise. We should all get together and make a country in which everybody can eat turkey whenever he pleases.

One of the peculiarities of Delhi is that the term ‚reform‘ is associated only with passing of laws in Parliament. In fact, the most important reforms are those needed, without new laws, at various level of the government, in work practices and procedures.

We have food all around us all the time, and if we haven’t eaten for three hours, we think we’re starving. You’re not starving – human beings can go for 30 days without food.

I think about food literally all day every day. It’s a thing.

You just feel a little odd when you don’t get your kind of food. Fortunately, there are Indian restaurants all over the world.
