There Are No Bad Foods, Only Bad

You Know We Fixate On The Food So Much Itself: “oh, The Ultimate Brownie Or The Ultimate This Or That” -- Well, Let Me Tell You Something: It’s All Poop In About 12 Hours, Okay? The Real Power That Food Has Is Its Ability To Connect Human Beings To Each Other -- That’s The Stuff Right There And, To Me, Everything Else Is Secondary To That.

No Matter How Much Creativity Goes Into It, Cooking Is An Art. Or Perhaps I Should Say A Craft. It Abides By Absolute Rules, Physics, Chemistry, Etc. And That Means That Unless You Understand The Science You Cannot Reach The Art. We're Not Talking About Painting Here. Cooking's More Like Engineering. I Happen To Think That There Is Great Beauty In Great Engineering.

Everything In Food Is Science. The Only Subjective Part Is When You Eat It.

Enough People Have Now Mentioned Bill Nye The Science Guy To Me That I Now Desperately Avoid It All Costs.

My Mantra Was To Educate People - To Actually Give Them The Know-how They Could Use - And To Do It In A Very Subversive Kind Of Way. I Would Entertain Them, And I Was Going To Teach Them Whether They Knew It Or Not.
