And
I Quote...
We went surfing the other night to find interesting BBQ
quotes. Rots-a-ruck
on this trip we thought. Surprisingly, we found a few, added in some
good general food and wine quips and mixed em here with some of our
own.
Enjoy!
"Always marinate
your guests first."
George Westby
"Lunch is a many
splendored thing."
Ski Sullivan
"Tongs for the memories."
Saucy Joe Sullivan
"It is better
to have burnt and lost, then never to have barbecued at all" William
Shakespeare as skewered by Laura Brown
"We
eat everything but the squeal"

“Large, naked,
raw carrots are acceptable as food only to those who live in hutches
eagerly awaiting Easter.”

would grow by leaps and bounds if green vegetables smelled as good
as bacon.”
Doug Larson

age where food has taken the place of sex in my life. In fact, I've
just had a mirror put over my kitchen table."
Rodney Dangerfield
"I'm a man. Men
cook outside. Women make the three-bean salad. That's the way it is
and always has been, since the first settlers of Levittown. That outdoor
grilling is a manly pursuit has long been beyond question. If this
wasn't firmly understood, you'd never get grown men to put on those
aprons with pictures of dancing wienies and things on the front..."
William Geist
“Grilling,
broiling, barbecuing - whatever you want to call it - is an art, not
just a matter
of building a pyre and throwing on a piece
of meat as a sacrifice to the gods of the stomach.”
James Beard
"For a gourmet
wine is not a drink but a condiment, provided that your host has chosen
correctly."
Edouard De Pomaine
"A gourmet who thinks of calories is like a tart
who looks at her watch."
James Beard
