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. – Calvin Trillin
I dont cook. I dont know anything about food. Ive never reviewed a restaurant. – Calvin Trillin
The food in such places is so tasteless because the members associate spices and garlic with just the sort of people theyre trying to keep out. – Calvin Trillin
We all know funny people who cant get it down on the page – even funny writers who cant get it down on the page. – Calvin Trillin
I cook a little bit. I make a Hungarian dish called chicken paprikash thats out of this world. Ill give a heads-up to all of your readers that it doesnt have to be between Thai and Mexican every night. Toss some Hungarian in every once in a while. You will not be sorry. Good, solid peasant food. – Adam Carolla
