Food without wine is a corpse; wine without food is a ghost; united and well matched they are as body and soul, living partners.
Andre Simon (1877-1970)
You have to eat to cook. You can’t be a good cook and be a noneater. I think eating is the secret to good cooking.
Julia Child
It’s my belief that cooking is a craft. I think that you can push it into the realm of art, but it starts with craft. It starts with an understanding of materials. It starts with an understanding of where foods are grown.
Tom Colicchio, Head Judge of Top Chef @tomcolicchio
Like baseball, food will never go out of style; we will always need to eat and we will always find it entertaining. I think of food TV this way - all the fun and none of the calories.
Gail Simmons, Food & Wine editor and host of Top Chef Just Desserts @gailsimmons
Service is extremely important in a restaurant. I always say that people will come to the restaurant for food, but they’ll come back for service.
Tom Colicchio, Head Judge of Top Chef @tomcolicchio
Cooking is the only craft that relies on all five senses. The only way to become a great cook is to use them all.
Gail Simmons, Food & Wine editor and Top Chef Judge @gailsimmons
I equate [being the chef] to a conductor conducting an orchestra. The conductor is the one who’s getting billing. You don’t expect the conductor to jump in and start playing the instruments. In fact, if he does, you’re in trouble. Same thing with a chef.

If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.
J. R. R. Tolkien (1892 - 1973)
