Even when I get the fried-chicken special of the day, I have to dig into it like it's filet mignon.

Viola Davis

Now filet mignon come with every meal. I swear to God that I'm so high, Feel like i am going up a hill.

Wiz Khalifa

If wishes were filet mignon, we'd always eat well at dinner

Dean Koontz

Life is a banquet, and most poor suckers are starving to death.

Jerome Lawrence

I've had to sink my teeth into a role that was probably a fried-chicken dinner and make it into a filet mignon.

Viola Davis

I always thought filet mignon was the steak to beat, but the fat content in a rib eye is fantastic.

Neil Patrick Harris

I love filet mignon. I love French and Italian cuisine.

Maryse Mizanin

The hibachi is coming to a city near you. I'm cooking chicken and shrimp, but if you want to throw a double team my way, filet mignon gets cooked too.

Gilbert Arenas

The lives of most people are small tight pallid and sad, more to be mourned than their deaths. We starve at the banquet: We cannot see that there is a banquet because seeing the banquet requires that we see also ourselves sitting there starving-seeing ourselves clearly, even for a moment, is shattering. We are not dead but asleep, dreaming of ourselves.

David Foster Wallace

I'm not impressed by any cooks who can brag about a filet mignon. A guy who can take the neck of a shank or can use tripe to make into something delicious is really interesting to me; that's impressive.

Anthony Bourdain

I've been to the top, to eat filet mignon, to have sweets, traveling around the world, having everything at your fingertips, to being embarrassed just to walk around in society.

Justin Gatlin

You need to eat, but you don't really need to eat filet mignon every night or buy bottles of champagne at a thousand a pop.

Gene Simmons

People - Hollywood doesn't talk about how bad cigarette smells when it smells like they wake up in bed with somebody who has been smoking the night before.

Chris Matthews

If properly dried and trimmed, New York-style pizza could be used to make a box for Chicago-style pizza. I love a slice when I'm in NYC, but it's like eating a Slim Jim compared with a filet mignon. One slice of Gino's East stuffed sausage pizza is a bigger meal than an entire New York pie.

Nick Offerman

Choices are funny things-ask a native tribe that's eaten grubs and roots forever if they're unhappy, and they'll shrug. But give them filet mignon and truffle sauce and then ask them to go back to living off the land, and they will always be thinking of that gourmet meal. If you don't know there's an alternative, you can't miss it.
