I will not eat oysters. I want my food dead. Not sick. Not wounded. Dead.
Woody AllenI try to very hard to avoid a situation where I would be eating cat or dog; I’ve managed to gracefully avoid that. It’s hypocritical of me and an arbitrary line, but one that I have managed to avoid crossing.
Anthony BourdainFind what’s hot, find what’s just opened and then look for the worst review of the week. There is so much to learn from watching a restaurant getting absolutely panned and having a bad experience. Go and see it for yourself.
Gordon RamsayLet’s face it, a nice creamy chocolate cake does a lot for a lot of people; it does for me.
Audrey HepburnI like to talk about lint and coasters, the expansion of the universe and maybe McDonald’s. I’m completely turned off by the idea of politics.
Steven WrightMy kids are normal. If they could eat burgers and fries and ice cream every day, they would. And so would I. But that doesn’t sustain us.
Michelle ObamaRemember, man does not live on bread alone: sometimes he needs a little buttering up.
John C. MaxwellI, personally, think there is a really danger of taking food too seriously. Food should be part of the bigger picture.
Anthony BourdainYou just feel a little odd when you don’t get your kind of food. Fortunately, there are Indian restaurants all over the world.
Virat KohliFacts are to the mind what food is to the body.
Edmund BurkeI 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.
Mr. TThe problem is when that fun stuff becomes the habit. And I think that’s what’s happened in our culture. Fast food has become the everyday meal.
Michelle ObamaAcorns were good until bread was found.
Francis BaconMy dinners at home are startlingly simple. Every night, I stop at the market near my hotel and pick up a steak, lamb chops or some liver, which I broil in the electric oven in my room. I usually eat four or five raw carrots with my meat, and that is all. I must be part rabbit; I never get bored with raw carrots.
Marilyn MonroeThe food here is terrible, and the portions are too small.
Woody AllenSome people wanted champagne and caviar when they should have had beer and hot dogs.
Dwight D. EisenhowerWe 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.
Jocko WillinkNobody in Singapore drinks Singapore Slings. It’s one of the first things you find out there. What you do in Singapore is eat. It’s a really food-crazy culture, where all of this great food is available in a kind of hawker-stand environment.
Anthony BourdainFood is everything we are. It’s an extension of nationalist feeling, ethnic feeling, your personal history, your province, your region, your tribe, your grandma. It’s inseparable from those from the get-go.
Anthony BourdainI 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.
Jocko WillinkHong 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.
Anthony BourdainFame is a fickle food upon a shifting plate.
Emily DickinsonIn New York I pretty much live in diners – I order French Fries, Diet Coke floats and lots of coffee.
Lana Del ReyGoing 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.
Anthony BourdainI’ve never eaten a strawberry in my life. I have no desire to do that.
Tom Brady‚Kitchen Confidential‘ wasn’t a cautionary or an expose. I wrote it as an entertainment for New York tri-state area line cooks and restaurant lifers, basically; I had no expectation that it would move as far west as Philadelphia.
Anthony BourdainI think about food literally all day every day. It’s a thing.
Taylor SwiftI 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.
Harry S. TrumanI don’t have much patience for people who are self-conscious about the act of eating, and it irritates me when someone denies themselves the pleasure of a bloody hunk of steak or a pungent French cheese because of some outdated nonsense about what’s appropriate or attractive.
Anthony BourdainThe other night I ate at a real nice family restaurant. Every table had an argument going.
George CarlinAfter a hard day of basic training, you could eat a rattlesnake.
Elvis PresleyThose places I don’t understand, just doing bad food. It takes some doing. Making good pasta is so much easier than making bad stuff. It actually takes quite an effort to make poor linguine pomodora.
Anthony BourdainYou 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.
George Bernard ShawI want more of my favorite artists or more of the guy that makes the anthems. I want more.
DJ KhaledContext and memory play powerful roles in all the truly great meals in one’s life.
Anthony BourdainPeople 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.
Anthony BourdainThink of our physical sustenance. It is truly heaven-sent. The necessities of air, food, and water all come to us as gifts from a loving Heavenly Father.
Russell M. NelsonI want my food dead. Not sick, not dying, dead.
Oscar WildeSo long as you have food in your mouth, you have solved all questions for the time being.
Franz KafkaI never needed much, and I never thought I’d get more than what I had. A trip to Burger King was the biggest thing in the world to me. Heaven.
Dave GrohlGreen 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!
Jim CarreyI did this book ‚Harvest for Hope,‘ and I learned so much about food. And one thing I learned is that we have the guts not of a carnivore, but of an herbivore. Herbivore guts are very long because they have to get the last bit of nutrition out of leaves and things.
Jane GoodallFrench fries kill more people than guns and sharks, yet nobody’s afraid of French fries.
Robert KiyosakiRegardless of what our national credit rating is, people will always want a roof over their heads, food on their tables, fuel for their cars, and clothes on their backs.
Robert KiyosakiI 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.
Maya AngelouSteak and Shake in Indianapolis is definitely the first stop when we hit that city.
Stephen CurryI 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.
Michelle ObamaOnly the pure in heart can make a good soup.
Ludwig van BeethovenEating words has never given me indigestion.
Winston ChurchillA house is not a home unless it contains food and fire for the mind as well as the body.
Benjamin FranklinI’m not a sandwich store that only sells turkey sandwiches. I sell a lot of different things.
Lady GagaThe vulgar boil, the learned roast, an egg.
Alexander PopeI was always a junk food person, still am.
Dolly PartonOf 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.
Robert Baden-PowellTo eat is to appropriate by destruction.
Jean-Paul SartreI love the masochistic aspect of eating seething, real Sichuan food in Sichuan Province.
Anthony BourdainMy weaknesses have always been food and men – in that order.
Dolly PartonI love food.
Amy WinehouseI myself prefer my New Zealand eggs for breakfast.

Gordon Ramsay
