Why we love the French

We're getting ready to go over to one of Kirk's colleague's house for dinner. We've never been to his place before, and I've never heard him talk about cooking before, so I asked Kirk what I thought was a fairly obvious question. In response, Kirk gave me a fairly obvious answer.

Me: "So he (the colleague) can cook?"
Kirk: "Well, he's French."

I guess that means he knows how to cook.
