Quotes

"That is one of those onion soups that was probably just cooked forever, nice and slow for hours and hours, because it's really thin and light, but the flavor is rich, like really, really rich."
"So this is a rare steak with pepper sauce. You can have it with wine sauce. Is it as good as it looks? Yeah, it's very tender."
"This is a farm-roasted chicken. So I have the breast, and you can see the little wing bone there with french fries. Just a simple dish. Good tender chicken."
