1) Food must always be paired with beverage.

2) Medium rare, always.

3) If I am going to be bad, I am going to be terrible.

4) Egg on a burger is awesome.. But I disagree with my countrymen on beetroot.

5) Homegrown tomatoes are awesome, and tomato basil and (real!) mozzarella are a match made in heaven.

6) Buy and eat local. Reduce food miles.

7) When eating out avoid large chains, always ask the locals, be brave and try "non-standard" looking places.

8) Germans know how to live. Brats and Beer!

9) Since finishing college I never and will never again, but prepackaged meals.. Cooking takes time and care and the rewards are worth it!

10) Never clean teeth before breakfast.
