“They advertise on the radio for food stamps!”

“I love inventive food, but I want the classic dishes to taste like how I remember them. I get a little bummed out when there is too much fancy stuff going on and it doesn't resemble the original dish at all.”

“I love home cooking, and I'm not a great one for fast food.”
