The less you do to beautiful food, the better it's going to taste. You don't need to mess with it all the time.

There's not a single chef I know of that does not think about the politics of the food they're serving.

I have a mantra in my head that there will always be another meal. I can put my fork down, knowing there will be good things in my future!
