“Travel changes you. As you move through this life and this world you change things slightly, you leave marks behind, however small. And in return, life \u2014 and travel \u2014 leaves marks on you.”<\/p>\n

“It seems that the more places I see and experience, the bigger I realize the world to be. The more I become aware of, the more I realize how relatively little I know of it, how many places I have still to go, how much more there is to learn.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

“Without experimentation, a willingness to ask questions and try new things, we shall surely become static, repetitive, and moribund.”<\/p>\n

“It’s an irritating reality that many places and events defy description. Angkor Wat and Machu Picchu<\/a>, for instance, seem to demand silence, like a love affair you can never talk about. For a while after, you fumble for words, trying vainly to assemble a private narrative, an explanation, a comfortable way to frame where you’ve been and what’s happened. In the end, you’re just happy you were there \u2014 with your eyes open \u2014 and lived to see it.”<\/p>\n

“If I’m an advocate for anything, it’s to move. As far as you can, as much as you can. Across the ocean, or simply across the river. The extent to which you can walk in someone else’s shoes or at least eat their food, it’s a plus for everybody. Open your mind, get up off the couch, move.”<\/p>\n

“Travel is about the gorgeous feeling of teetering in the unknown.”<\/p>\n

\u201cTravel isn\u2019t always pretty. It isn\u2019t always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts, it even breaks your heart. But that\u2019s okay. The journey changes you; it should change you. It leaves marks on your memory, on your consciousness, on your heart, and on your body. You take something with you. Hopefully, you leave something good behind.\u201d<\/p>\n

“When dealing with complex transportation issues, the best thing to do is pull up with a cold beer and let somebody else figure it out.”<\/p>\n

\u201cLike I said before, your body is not a temple, it\u2019s an amusement park. Enjoy the ride.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTo me, life without veal stock, pork fat, sausage, organ meat, demi-glace, or even stinky cheese is a life not worth living.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBarbecue may not be the road to world peace, but it\u2019s a start.\u201d<\/p>\n

“Food is everything we are. It’s an extension of nationalist feeling, ethnic feeling, your personal history, your province, your region, your tribe, your grandma. It’s inseparable from those from the get-go.”<\/p>\n

“Good food is very often, even most often, simple food.”<\/p>\n

“You learn a lot about someone when you share a meal together.”<\/p>\n

“Meals make the society, hold the fabric together in lots of ways that were charming and interesting and intoxicating to me. The perfect meal, or the best meals, occur in a context that frequently has very little to do with the food itself.”<\/p>\n

“I think food, culture, people and landscape are all absolutely inseparable.”<\/p>\n

“Drink heavily with locals whenever possible.”<\/p>\n

\u201cBad food is made without pride, by cooks who have no pride, and no love. Bad food is made by chefs who are indifferent, or who are trying to be everything to everybody, who are trying to please everyone\u2026 Bad food is fake food\u2026 food that shows fear and lack of confidence in people\u2019s ability to discern or to make decisions about their lives.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCooking is a craft, I like to think, and a good cook is a craftsman\u2014not an artist. There\u2019s nothing wrong with that: the great cathedrals of Europe were built by craftsmen\u2014though not designed by them. Practicing your craft in expert fashion is noble, honorable and satisfying.\u201d<\/p>\n
