Question

I had the special opportunity to meet Anthony Bourdain and had him sign 3 of my bamboo cutting boards. I am having them framed and under the boards I would like to add a quote....any suggestions from my fellow brilliant cooks/chefs/foodies?

I had these in mind:

“The true gourmet, like the true artist, is one of the unhappiest creatures existent. His trouble comes from so seldom finding what he constantly seeks: perfection.”
-Ludwig Bemelmans

 
“Food is to eat, not to frame and hang on the wall.”
 - William Denton
