America's most dangerous export was, is and always will be our fast-food outlets.

That without experimentation, a willingness to ask questions and try new things, we shall surely become static, repetitive, moribund.

And now to sleep, to dream...perchance to fart.

My daughter takes pride in showing up with stuff that other kids envy or are freaked out by, so I send her to school with grilled octopus.

I eat strategically. If I know I'm having a big Chinese banquet tomorrow, I'm not eating a big dinner tonight, and I'm not having breakfast.

In fairness, you know, I'm a big believer in if your kid makes noise in the restaurant you should remove the child immediately.

I wanted it to look like real cooking in someone's real home or just so out-of-there bizarre that it would be fun.
