Sometimes when I'm faced with an atheist, I am tempted to invite him to the greatest gourmet dinner that one could ever serve, and when we have finished eating that magnificent dinner, to ask him if he believes there's a cook.

Summary

The quote suggests that when faced with an atheist who denies the existence of a higher power, the speaker intends to use the metaphor of a gourmet dinner to challenge their belief. By inviting the atheist to a delectable meal and asking if they believe in a cook after experiencing the culinary excellence, the quote alludes to the idea that by observing the complexity and intricacy of the world around them, the atheist might reconsider their disbelief in a creator or higher force guiding it all.
