I love that New York City is a true melting pot.

New York's food scene is truly unique because it is this wonderful melting pot where immigrants from all over the world have brought with them their cuisines and their ingredients.

New York gives us a wide colour palette to cook from. We have cuisines from around the world, and that lets us pick and choose.

New York is rich in culture, cuisine, and commerce.

I think New York is truly unique in its singular combination of the quality of both the talent it attracts and the ingredients it grows. There are plenty of other places in the world with wonderful natural resources, but the people who come here to pursue their passions for food and cooking - they are one of a kind.

One of the things I love about New York is that it's one of the only places where you could have an entire restaurant dedicated to macaroni and cheese.

New York is the best food city in the world.

America is not a melting pot. It is a sizzling cauldron.

You look around New York, and we are surrounded by restaurants and food trucks, and we celebrate food in this city like no tomorrow.

America gave the world the notion of the melting pot - an alchemical cooking device wherein diverse ethnic and religious groups voluntarily mix together, producing a new, American identity. And while critics may argue that the melting pot is a national myth, it has tenaciously informed the America's collective imagination.
