Even though my entire writing persona is prefaced on me not being an expert, I kind of am an expert. I know a lot.

I'm lucky to be in food at the moment, because we're living in a time where so many people are obsessed with it. People will go to food festivals now, and argue over the merits of a taco for hours. It's about the people who deeply care, and want that exchange of ideas.

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

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 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.
