My feeling has always been that 'Good Eats' would have never happened had it been left to a committee.

I'm prickly. I fuss over every single detail.

You know we fixate on the food so much itself: “Oh, the ultimate brownie or the ultimate this or that” -- well, let me tell you something: It’s all poop in about 12 hours, okay? The real power that food has is its ability to connect human beings to each other -- that’s the stuff right there and, to me, everything else is secondary to that.

Flame is bad. Flame does nasty things to food. It makes soot and it makes deposits of various chemicals that are not too good for us. The last thing you really want to see licking at your food while it's on a grill is an actual flame.

The way to any woman's heart, be she witch or Wonderwoman, princess or Pocahontas, is through her stomach.

If there's something I feel certain of, it is that we're not very aware of each other and that's largely because of social media.

When you're touring, you're constantly in motion.
