"I don’t cook. I don’t know anything about food. I’ve never reviewed a restaurant." ― Calvin Trillin Topic(s): Food More From Calvin Trillin "With humor, it’s so subjective that trying to think of what the ideal reader would think would drive you crazy." "If it’s inappropriate to write about, if there’s nothing funny about it, then it’s not funny." "When it comes to Chinese food I have always operated under the policy that the less known about the preparation the better. A wise diner who is invited to visit the kitchen replies by saying, as politely as possible, that he has a pressing engagement elsewhere." More In Food "I used food as a coping mechanism for many, many years, and it was my best friend for a long time."― Carnie Wilson "Keep it simple in the kitchen. If you use quality ingredients, you don’t need anything fancy to make food delicious: just a knife, a cutting board, and some good nonstick cookware, and you’re set."― Curtis Stone "If you’re going to America, bring your own food."― Fran Lebowitz
