Quote of the Day (“The New Yorker,” on Gwyneth Paltrow, Hearty Eater)

“Dinner guests [at the publication party for Gwyneth Paltrow’s new cookbook, My Father’s Daughter] included people who do know her: Jay-Z, Cameron Diaz, Alex Rodriguez, the Seinfelds, and assorted food-world worthies. Most guests saw nothing unusual about getting cooking advice from a stick-thin actress; in fact, many said that they associated Gwyneth Paltrow with food. Mario Batali, in pink cargo shorts, was talking to Ruth Reichl. ‘She eats like a truck driver,’ he said of Paltrow. He recalled being in Valencia, Spain, and ‘watching her eat an entire pan of paella as big as a manhole cover.’”—Lizzie Widdicombe, “Dept. of Hoopla: Gwyneth’s World,” The New Yorker, April 25, 2011

Eating like a truck driver? Sure, that’s the first thing to come to mind when I see Gwyneth Paltrow!
