I’m all about making money. It’s the greatest thing, because it means you get money to spend.

Charlie Trotter 24 quotes

Always make stock in a large quantity and freeze it in plastic bags. That way, when you want to make a nice soup or boil veggies, you can simply pull the bag out of the freezer.

I took the obligatory economics classes in school, but I've long been a fan of the Milton Friedman philosophy and its libertarian bent: One must be free to do what one wants to do, as long as you don't harm another. This is the seminal treatise on free-market economics.

I never considered Miles Davi...

I never considered Miles Davis a perfectionist; I always considered him as an excellence-ist, where deviation is actually kind of cool.

Charlie Trotter 24 quotes

Excellence is about fighting ...

Excellence is about fighting and pursuing something diligently, with a strict and determined approach to doing it right. It's okay if there are flaws in the process - it makes it more interesting.

You know the old adage that the customer's always right? Well, I kind of think that the opposite is true. The customer is rarely right.

Chefs, as a whole, say yes to any project, fundraiser, or tasting because they have such a generous spirit.

Charlie Trotter 24 quotes

Sometimes I think I should ha...

Sometimes I think I should have chosen a line of work where it was just me alone in the room, with the sun coming in, and God, insofar as he or she exists, smiling down upon me. Then I would have never been accused of being a tyrant, other than towards myself.

Charlie Trotter 24 quotes

At home, a man is entitled to...

At home, a man is entitled to raise his voice maybe once a year, if something really gets under his skin. At work, it's different. I raise my voice all the time. Not out of malice, but to get things right. It's never personal.

My parents couldn't be looser. It was the ultimate laissez faire upbringing.

If you ever want to get anywhere in life, you're going to have to push it, and somebody's going to push you to get there. End of story.

Charlie Trotter 24 quotes

If you go around the kitchen ...

If you go around the kitchen and ask my employees what they want to be doing in three to five years, most of them, if they're being honest, will tell you that they don't want to be working for me. They want to have their own place. And I think that's great.

I have always considered desserts to be of equal importance to the savory food.

Charlie Trotter 24 quotes

If you know what you're doing...

If you know what you're doing, you can make a meal happen with any kitchen knife. But using a top-quality knife versus a low-quality one is the difference between driving a Jaguar and a VW Jetta across the country. They'll both get you there. But the Jaguar will give you a much smoother ride.

I timed my previous wife's pregnancy to the moment to have my son born on Bob Dylan's 50th birthday. There is no bigger Bob Dylan fan than me. You don't just time the day and impregnate your wife to get your kid to be born on Bob Dylan's 50th birthday.

In my case, vertical food was less about standing things up than layering things: more an attempt to gain texture by weaving things together.

I wasn't using college as a stepping stone to law school or some other career. I just wanted a liberal-arts education.

Charlie Trotter 24 quotes

You can't be afraid to not have everything figured out. There's too much pressure on young people today to have it all figured out when they're in college.

Charlie Trotter 24 quotes

I've always liked root vegeta...

I've always liked root vegetables because most of them have a natural sweetness. They have a high fructose content, especially when you cook them and caramelize them in a saute pan. Or you can take a turnip and cook it slowly in the oven until it's browned, and it takes on a kind of sweetness. These vegetables are pretty easy to like.

I got on a Dostoyevsky kick right after college. I started with 'Crime and Punishment,' went on to 'The Possessed' and then 'The Brothers Karamazov' and 'The Idiot.'
