Jarod Kintz
“Flavors of Louisiana is the 1996 of restaurants. I ate tasty Gator like the time The University of Nebraska's football team beat The University of Florida 52-20 to win The National Championship.”
Jarod Kintz, Whenever you're here, I'm there for you

Vera Nazarian
“Creativity is not so much a boundless well, but an all-you-can-eat buffet of elements for your creative endeavor.

Eventually you've eaten your fill, and it's time to digest and then make something.

But at some point, it will be time to return to the restaurant.”
Vera Nazarian, The Perpetual Calendar of Inspiration
