In a lot of ways I think food is starting to take the place in culture that rock and roll took 30 years ago, in that eating has become incredibly political. And just as the street has always dictated fashions on music and other things, it's starting to happen that way in food. “So often these days eating Indian food passes for spirituality. I don't meditate, I don't pray, but I eat two samosa's every day.” By Dan Bern
