When you pursue great flavor, you also pursue great ecology.

The greatest lesson came with the realization that good food cannot be reduced to single ingredients. It requires a web of relationships to support it.

Conventional agriculture has never succeeded in feeding the world, and it's never produced anything good to eat. For the future, we need to look toward alternatives.

I'm not here to say I don't eat vegetables - I do, a lot of them - but, from a soil perspective, they're actually more costly than a cow grazing on grass.

If you just think exclusively about what would be the best tasting or the most profitable, you're just not seeing the big picture.

I think all chefs who pursue great flavor have good ethics.

We're achieving better marbling and better flavor with old world wisdom that's been passed down for generations but we're still using technology.

Clean plates don't lie.

It takes fifteen pounds of wild fish to get you one pound of farm tuna. Not very sustainable. It doesn't taste very good either.

I know it is difficult to believe in your own courage or fortitude when everything inside of you feels weak and shattered. But do not believe what you feel. You will not be easily broken.

Intelligence is not only the ability to reason; it is also the ability to find relevant material in memory and to deploy attention when needed.

The great mercy of God was that while I was purposefully preparing God's people, He was purposefully preparing me.

Things, even people have a way of leaking into each other like flavours when you cook.

I hate putting negative energy out into the world. But it's either inside or out. I mean, it's either get an ulcer or have a fight.

One thing I know, that I know nothing. This is the source of my wisdom.

There is, by God's grace, an immeasurable distance between late and too late.

If you stand on the Word, you do not stand with the world.

If you tell the story emotionally in a truthful way, then you start naturally looking at the landscape and thinking "Wow, we have to watch out."
