Here are some more of my favorite quotes:
“When we judge or criticize another person, it says nothing about that person; it merely says something about our own need to be critical.”
“Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain and most fools do.”
Benjamin Franklin
Was watching Chef! with Lenny Henry last night, and was on the floor laughing at some of the wonderful, insulting, and humorous quotes, and decided I HAD to share them!
“Personnel” (1.01)
Gareth Blackstock: Let me explain the order of things to you. There’s the aristocracy, the upper class, the middle class, working class, dumb animals, waiters, creeping things, head lice, people who eat packet soup, then you.
“Beyond the Pass” (1.02))
[A customer has asked for salt]
Gareth: Nothing else you wanted was there?
Customer: What?
Gareth: A splash of Lea & Perrins? A dollop of Daddies to stir into the artichoke and hollandaise coulis? It really is no trouble, we could send someone into town. I can get you any thing you like to enhance the flavour of your food. Salad Cream, Newman’s Own, Branston Pickle. You only have to ask. A little Tobasco perhaps or barbeque sauce, a spoonful of sandwich spread maybe. A nice packet of cheese and onion flavour crisps to sprinkle over your monkfish and salmon gratin. We could even get you a prawn vindaloo or family sized pack of chicken drumsticks or menu B for two persons with special fried rice and extra sweet and sour pork balls if you like, I mean we don’t mind going to a bit of trouble to please the customers here really. SALT!!! I’m going back to my kitchen now although GOD KNOWS WHY! I MEAN DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA OF NUMBER OF HIGHLY SKILLED MAN HOURS OVER A THREE DAY PERIOD HAVE GONE INTO PRODUCING THIS DISH THAT ARRIVES AT YOUR TABLE AT THE ZENITH OF ITS POWERS? IT’S TASTE, FLAVOURS, TEXTURE AND TEMPERATURE AT THE PEAK OF PERFECTION AND WITHOUT TASTING IT YOU CALL FOR SALT?
Lola: Your salt sir.
Gareth: I hate you with a passion you can only dream of. Bon apetit.
“Fame is the Spur” (1.05)
Gareth Blackstock:You’re pea brained, prat faced, pillock headed cretin, what are you?
Everton:I’m a pea brained, prat faced…
Gareth Blackstock:If you took an intensive course of intelligence injections and studied till you drop then one day you might make it to moron third class failed. GIVE ME STRENGTH!
Everton:Yes Chef.
Gareth Blackstock:I don’t want to shout at you.
Everton:No Chef
Gareth Blackstock:I WANT TO BATTER YOU TO DEATH WITH A HARD AND JAGGED KITCHEN IMPLEMENT. I’M ONLY RESTRAINED BY THE LUDICROUS LIBERAL PINKO LAWS THAT THEY’VE GOT IN THIS COUNTRY!
Everton:Yes Chef.
