In a lot of ways I think food is starting to take the place in culture that rock and roll took 30 years ago.

It's funny how everyone has a bizarre relationship with Google. The knowledge is there, but no one knows how to use it right.

Cooking is what makes us human. For example, Chimpanzees spend eight to ten hours trying to feed themselves, they are occupied by it, eating basically indigestible things. Once our human ancestors learn to cook things, suddenly we didn't have to spend that much time on digestion, our brains expanded, and we think about other things.

In a lot of ways I think food is starting to take the place in culture that rock and roll took 30 years ago, in that eating has become incredibly political. And just as the street has always dictated fashions on music and other things, it’s starting to happen that way in food.

Everybody talks about the internet being the ultimate repository of cooking knowledge. But it's not. It sucks.

I think every culture is passionate about food; some are just passionate about food and the food is shitty.
