"I came here because the city has a tradition and is a very respected food city." ― Emeril Lagasse Topic(s): Food More From Emeril Lagasse "If somebody has a chance to put my food in their mouth, that tells the story." "Start with a clean grill. Keep it clean by brushing with a wire brush after preheating, and again after cooking. Make sure to oil your grates and your food before putting it on the grill to keep it from sticking." "I started cooking when I was about 10. I have memories like when I was 6 or 7 with my mom, and when I was 12 I started getting real serious about cooking."

And I believe that the consumer should have strong confidence in our food systems."― Ann Veneman "Politeness is the art of choosing among your thoughts."― Madame de Stael "Doing things like playing music, something that’s so natural and basic to human function, running around in nature, eating delicious food. These things are intrinsic in basic, primordial to human beings, so that’s sort of a way to return to a blank canvas, allowing my true personality to return."― Ezra Miller
