The livelihood of the restaurant is dependent upon getting the word out.
I think the best restaurants in America should be in California.
I think the basic thing that home cooks can learn how to do is just season properly... If the home cook realized how little salt they use compared to what's needed, it would make their food taste better.
I think that the Japanese - and I do love Japanese cuisine and adore Japanese food culture - I think that they're going to plow through the entire world's fishing. They're going to eat everything anyways.
If you're going to be a vegetarian, limit yourself to food from a place you can go to in two hours and just eat that.
If you ask what people say what American cuisine is, they cannot really do it. I don't know what it is.
If you come in and then get released two times, you have a higher chance of dying than if you come in once. If you come back three times and go back out, you have a much, much higher chance of dying.
For everyday diners in Manhattan, cracking the waiting list at Nobu is said to be harder than getting courtside tickets for the Knicks.
I find that there are a lot of similarities between French and Japanese food. I think they're two countries that have really systemized their cuisine and codified it.

Rage or fear... It oscillates. Rage I need to motivate me to try things that I can't ordinarily do - as I'm a lazy man. Fear - to keep pushing harder so we don't lose what we've accomplished.
