Things taste less salty when they're cool.
We began building this incredible new foundation in this restaurant, and that's what began giving me the left-hand side of tradition and the right-hand side, my new palate.
The sweet of bitter bark And burning clove.
We (the Chinese) eat food for its texture, the elastic or crisp effect it has on our teeth, as well as for fragrance, flavor and color.
The things that make Korean food delicious are garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, chili powder, and chili paste. They make anything delicious.
My favorite wines are Zinfandels.
Food for me has to pop, and at Spice Market, the food really pops.
The simpler the food, the harder it is to prepare it well. You want to truly taste what it is you're eating. So that goes back to the trend of fine ingredients. It's very Japanese: Preparing good ingredients very simply, without distractions from the flavor of the ingredient itself.

In food, it's really, like, either you're right, or you're wrong. You know, people's taste buds kind of vary, but there's a technique. Either you do it right, or you don't.

Woe to the cook whose sauce has no sting.
As with wine, geography affects the flavor. Oysters are usually named for a locale.

There are very few chefs both in Britain and the States that really identify the secret of being consistent. And combine consistency with flavor.
Eating is the secret to good cooking.
If it tastes good, spit it out!
Cuisine is only about making foods taste the way they are supposed to taste.
It had the taste of an apple peeled with a steel knife. (Sebastian Barnack assessing a Roederer 1916 champagne in Time Must Have a Stop)
The best seasoning for food is hunger; for drink, thirst.
There are certain foods that are somewhat sacred or you're not supposed to mess with. When you do mess with them, it touches a nerve where you have to compare it to the original, and then that thing you're creating has a loosing change right out of the gate.
