What I think and what the world thinks is totally different.

It's the sense of what family is at the dinner table. It was the joy of knowing mother was in the kitchen making our favorite dish. I wish more people would do this and recall the joy of life.

One of the problems of our youth is that the family unit is broken up. When we'd sit down to dinner together as a family, we'd learn about each other. We had something people don't get today.

What I think and what the world thinks is totally different.

After failing four times and after working for other people and realizing that nobody paid attention to the food like they should have, we wanted to just pay attention to the food and service.

When I travel I normally eat club sandwiches or I bring my own food. When you go into a new town, it's very had to find a good place to eat.

I'm just here and I'm doin' the best I can. If you don't understand that, then what can I do?

I love people, and I'm excited that I can turn them on.

My mother would put me on a wooden box at the stove and tell me to call her if certain things would happen. Like if the steam turns blue, that is danger!

Have fun. Do something nobody else had done before, or has done since.

I'm a professional cook. I've worked with other cooks from all over the world, but my family is not that way - they're always lived within 25 miles of my hometown!

One of my missions was to teach.

We trust something in a grocery store and assume it's good. We don't learn about the most precious thing in life-the food we put in our body. Educate yourself!

We didn't do wrong things because we didn't want to embarrass our parents.

When you've got a great business going, you go open another and take the risk of losing the whole thing. It's fun!

You don't need a silver fork to eat good food.

The bad part about being recognized is that when I walk into a restaurant and sit down, I've got to eat everything on the plate, whether it's good or bad. People would take it as an insult if I did otherwise.

I think the most wonderful thing in the world is another chef. I'm always excited about learning new things about food.

Some people absorb in different ways. I didn't realize until I was 15 years old how much I retained.

Cajun is country food by farmers and fisherman that arrived in Louisiana from Acadiana, Canada.

I'd like to have the first restaurant that can deliver incredible quality food to your table at your house at any time-right where you live.

We had no electricity, no gas. Food was probably our greatest entertainment - the most fun thing that we could do was food.

I didn't want to do just another set of recipes. I think that's useless.

In '71 or '72 I returned to New Orleans and stayed there. I started cooking Louisiana food. Of all the things I had cooked, it was the best-and it was my heritage.

I believe in America. I'm one of those silly flag wavers.

I opened my own restaurant when I was 17. I went broke, then traveled around the country, learning about different kinds of foods, had three other restaurants that went broke. It didn't all start just a few years ago!

We're working people, and that's what we like to do, work.

We closed the restaurant in New Orleans and brought the entire staff to San Francisco. But we had to go home.

I wait for the next opportunity to have something to do with food. If I get rested, my mind just starts creating new dishes - click, click, click.

I don't think life is to be taken too seriously. Take it too seriously, and it'll getcha.

I opened a restaurant that had nothing but California wines.

Don't get fancy. Have you cooked an apple pie? You don't know what you did wrong? Do this: Take two or three apples. Put them on a table. Study them.

When I am done with this meal you can have my life. It is heaven.

I would work as a cook, get a little money, then open another restaurant.

Creole is New Orleans city food. Communities were created by the people who wanted to stay and not go back to Spain or France.

If you have acid in food, you need to sugar it. At a high temperature, the acids are changed to sugar.

When the taste changes with every bite and the last bite is as good as the first thats Cajun.

Johnny Winter is one of the best blues players in the world. He's very underrated.

The world is... the natural setting of, and field for, all my thoughts and all my explicit perceptions. Truth does not inhabit only the inner man, or more accurately, there is no inner man, man is in the world, and only in the world does he know himself.

You are not here merely to make a living. You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand.

Well concerning the world records that I did, I think it helps a lot to me, yeah. I think it's a very individual thing because I heard some people say, like, oh I don't like it at all. But I definitely, for me it really made a big difference.

Christians should never fail to sense the operation of an angelic glory. It forever eclipses the world of demonic powers, as the sun does a candle's light.

I do believe there are leaders who are like lightning and they come along and they lead. The Lincolns of the world, the Alexander the Greats, they do exist. They have existed.

The people of England are the most enthusiastic in the world.

You've got to realize. In the western world, regardless of what color you are, what title the music is, it's all played by the same notes.
