Famous quotes

  • « I think people are more savvy about cooking, food and dining. I notice they are looking for more value for their money - not in larger portions but more in terms of healthier, fresh, farm-to-table dishes with a nice presentation. »
    Cat Cora
  • « The food in the House of Commons is fairly good. The cafe in Portcullis House is really very high quality, and you also have a choice of eating in the more traditional restaurants, the Churchill Room or the Members' Dining Room. I don't often eat in them, though, as I'm usually on the run. »
    Vince Cable
  • « The first trip I remember taking was on the train from Virginia up to New York City, watching the summertime countryside rolling past the window. They used white linen tablecloths in the dining car in those days, and real silver. I love trains to this day. Maybe that was the beginning of my fixation with leisurely modes of travel. »
    Billy Campbell
  • « The Sabbath is a weekly cathedral raised up in my dining room, in my family, in my heart. »
    Anita Diament
  • « Schizophrenia beats dining alone. »
    Oscar Levant
