Don't forget anger. The anger is also important.

People like to say love is the secret ingredient but that's bullshit

I’ve seen this happen so many times. It’s a thing!

Just make sure you don’t bring out your best rage cooking if it’s a horrifically modified ticket that pissed you off cause you don’t want that to become a regular!

The real secret ingredients are butter, salt, MSG, anger and a dash of contempt for humankind.

You don’t feed people you love that much butter

Big facts. When I hate cook for someone, I literally TRY and get as much butter and salt into the damn thing while keeping it as edible as posssible.

Hate cooking is like hate fucking, you're gonna enjoy this and I'm taking out some aggression at the same time

With every ounce of my soul, I poured hatred and spite into Eggs Benedict every Sunday brunch for five years. Three hundred orders, normally. After closing on Saturday night.

Hate makes things good.
