Otter - I doubt Tony'd mind. Here is the full quote in answer to a question..

Q: What makes your favorite pair of shoes better than the rest?

A: My favorite pair of shoes is absolutely no shoes. I have long believed that food tastes better - that life is better - with sand between your toes, and that there is a direct relationship between my personal happiness and how frequently I have to endure socks or footwear. In fact, the thing I'm beginning to resent most about haute cuisine is that I have to dress up to eat it. The three-star restaurant I'm waiting to see is one that opens on a beach.

I mean ya gotta appreciate where the guy's coming from. smile
