It's fun to be able to have a fun palate, and the way I say that, you think about it and it sounds funny, but it's true.

My palate is simpler than it used to be. A young chef adds and adds and adds to the plate. As you get older, you start to take away.

We began building this incredible new foundation in this restaurant, and that's what began giving me the left-hand side of tradition and the right-hand side, my new palate.

I'm not a big sweet guy, I have more of a savory palate.

I need to stay disciplined on the road. Too much food can wreck your palate.

I want people to know their palate is a snowflake. We all like different things. Why should we all have the same taste in wines?

Sometimes people say, 'You're the best at digressions.' And that's actually a real compliment to me.

There is no reason to suppose that taste is in any way a lower sense than the other four; a fine palate is as much a gift as an eye that discerns beauty or an ear that appreciates and enjoys subtle harmonies of sound, and we are quite right to value the pleasures that all our senses give us and educate their perceptions.

I quote others only in order the better to express myself.

I suppose your security is your success and your key to success is your fine palate.
