The traditional fast food model is built on buying the cheapest ingredients – and that usually means poor-quality, heavily processed foods. But you can use quality ingredients, cook food using classic cooking techniques, and still serve something that’s fast and inexpensive.

Growing up, I didn’t have a chance to watch a lot of films. It wasn’t until my teen years that I had to chance to see the classic films.
‘The Hatfields and McCoys’ is a classic tale of American history. These are names that are widely recognized, yet few people know the real story that made them famous.
There’s always a spattering of people who see Hanson who were influenced by classic ’60’s and ’70’s rock and roll. In a lot of ways, we’re sort of the anatomy of a ’70’s rock band if you examine what we do: white guys who grew up listening to soul music from the ’50’s and ’60’s.
If I’m going to dress up, I like things that are quite long and classic. I like feeling dressed up and like a lady.

I want to do – I want to be putting out classic stuff that’s gonna stick and last forever, you feel me?
Why is the public so interested in movies about the wealthy? My answer is that Shakespeare wrote about kings. That’s where the action is. And it’s the classic, cathartic thing. You get to indulge in a lifestyle you’re not part of, a tragic error leads to a downfall, and you get to say, ‘Thank God I’m not him.’

Doom is a classic supervillain, akin to the Phantom of the Opera. It’s not about revenge so much as, like, ‘I’m back – now watch this!’ It all boils down to the music. The mask is a slight theme for people to enjoy, and it adds mystery.
Conductors’ careers are made for the most part with ‘Romantic’ music. ‘Classic’ music eliminates the conductor; we do not remember him in it.

I love playing a woman suffering, thinking about the choices that she’s made and obviously wanting more. It’s classic.
I feel fortunate that I’m not a beauty. I’m not a classic beauty. I feel it is harder for girls who are like that. There are fewer parts.

Really, when people put together the highlight reels of the classic moments from ‘Friends,’ ‘Seinfeld,’ ‘Cheers,’ even ‘MASH,’ they’re full of broad slapstick comedy. Call it cheap or lowbrow, but it works and it works for people of all ages.
A black suit can be classic and timeless and certainly for most occasions. But remember, it’s not so much the color of suit as it is about the fit, cut, style, and, of course, attitude you have when wearing it.

I’d like to do a piece of Shakespeare. Any upcoming Shakespeare film. Just a bit to say I did a classic.
My style is Edie Sedgwick meets Grace Jones, or Audrey Hepburn meets Salt ‘n’ Pepa. Strong and feisty but still classic.
I often have an argument with people. I say name me a classic song that’s not sad in some kind of way. And even if you can, you’ll have to search pretty far.
I purchased a 1955 Rolls-Royce that my wife liked because it was new the year we were married. Then came a 1926 Hispano-Suiza Cabriolet that I bought at my first classic car auction after I had three martinis. As more cars were added, I had to buy a warehouse.
New York lost a classic. Carmine was an old school New Yorker.
Proportions are what makes the old Greek temples classic in their beauty. They are like huge blocks, from which the air has been literally hewn out between the columns.
The idea of withholding a massive secret is obviously quite exciting to some people. It is also the basis of much classic drama, of course, from Sophocles onwards.
My style overall is whatever is comfy, whatever I feel like wearing that day that I feel good in. I have some really classic pieces that I can dress up, dress down, wear to the movies or wear to a really nice dinner. And I love a really good leather jacket.
Eclectic yet classic with a playful bohemian twist is how I’d describe my style.
I absolutely love Oscar. So classic. So timeless.
I truly love a classic Caesar salad.
When I first became captain of the Indian cricket team in 2000, many well-wishers and journalist friends gifted me the classic Mike Brearley book, ‘The Art of Captaincy.’ I mean no disrespect to the book or Mr, Brearley, who I admire a great deal, but books or team meetings don’t make you good captains.
I’ll hear us on classic rock radio stations, and I’ll go, ‘Oh, my God, we’re getting old!’
I love inventive food, but I want the classic dishes to taste like how I remember them. I get a little bummed out when there is too much fancy stuff going on and it doesn’t resemble the original dish at all.
Most people would rather stay home and watch Casablanca for the fourth time or the 10th time on Turner Classic Movies than go see Matrix 12 or whatever the hell the flavor of the month is.
I have friends of mine that are actors or singers, and they’re the classic guys where, they’re onstage, and they’re like, ‘Okay, the blonde in the third row, seat 24, bring her to my dressing room.’ I’ve never, never taken advantage of that, I swear to God.
I think the first thing you should learn is how to roast a chicken. Once you can roast a chicken, you can pretty much figure out anything else. And who doesn’t like roasted chicken? It’s a classic.
You need to have spent your time from playing Top 40 pop rock in order to know how to play a song like ‘Ritual,’ a song like ‘Absolution’ or ‘Idolatrine.’ You need to know your classic drumming and your classic guitar.
The classic, ‘Romeo and Juliet,’ for me, is the iconic story of young love.
The heritage of a British actor revolves around the challenges of playing the classic roles to meet certain levels of success as an actor. In America, the heritage of an actor is based on cinema mainly.
‘Street Legal’ is like a cult classic. It’s pretty cheesy at times, but you learn to embrace it.
The scariest movie I have ever seen, and my favorite horror film is, ‘The Exorcist.’ It is a must-see horror/thriller classic. I watch it every couple of years.
I’m sure if Shakespeare were alive today, he’d be doing classic guitar solos on YouTube.
I love Stella McCartney because she’s timeless and classic, and I love Isabel Marant for wearability – you don’t need ‘an occasion’ for her clothes.

Growing up in the Midwest, Boston, and Alabama, I didn’t know any Puerto Ricans… at least, I didn’t know if I knew any Puerto Ricans. The only Puerto Rican that I had ever even heard of was Juan Epstein, one of the students from the classic 1970s sitcom ‘Welcome Back, Kotter.’
Fall 2013 was inspired by the 1970s equestrian lifestyle. I wanted to incorporate the moody and romantic – intricate baroque detailing and classic menswear elements – with something tougher and edgier in a nod to London’s rock n’ roll underground.
Much as I cared for Joseph Kennedy, he was a classic example of that person in the arts with lots of brains and drive but little taste or talent.
