I would like to see people more aware of where their food comes from. I would like to see small farmers empowered. I feed my daughter almost exclusively organic food.

More quotes by Anthony Bourdain
I always entertain the notion that I'm wrong, or that I'll have to revise my opinion. Most of the time that feels good sometimes it really hurts and is embarrassing.
Anthony Bourdain
I wanted it to look like real cooking in someone's real home or just so out-of-there bizarre that it would be fun.
Anthony Bourdain
I wasn't that great a chef, and I don't think I'm that great a writer.
Anthony Bourdain
An employer of mine back in the '80s was kind enough to take me on after a rough patch, and it made a big difference in my life that I knew I was the sort of person who showed up on time. It's a basic tell of character.
Anthony Bourdain
Look, getting bullied in school and coming home crying in the rain and my mom making me a can of Campbell's Tomato Soup with some oysterettes. It was comfort food that is what food should be.
Anthony Bourdain
I write quickly with a sense of urgency. I don't edit myself out of existence, meaning I'll try to write 50 or 60 pages before I start rereading, revising and editing. That just helps with my confidence.
Anthony Bourdain
If you go to working class, and working poor areas of America, the food sources that are relegated to them are generally limited to unhealthy ones.
Anthony Bourdain
There's something wonderful about drinking in the afternoon. A not-too-cold pint, absolutely alone at the bar - even in this fake-ass Irish pub.
Anthony Bourdain
If anything is good for pounding humility into you permanently, it's the restaurant business.
Anthony Bourdain
Every chef I know, their cholesterol is through the roof. And mine's not so great.
Anthony Bourdain
Those places I don't understand, just doing bad food. It takes some doing. Making good pasta is so much easier than making bad stuff. It actually takes quite an effort to make poor linguine pomodora.
Anthony Bourdain
I'm at my most productive before I even have my first cup of coffee. I only get slower and stupider as the day progresses.
Anthony Bourdain
I'm sure one of the frustrations of being a Western enthusiast of Japanese food and culture is you're confronted every day with the absolute certainty that you will die ignorant.
Anthony Bourdain
In Italy, kids are taken to restaurants very early, they're welcome there, and they learn how to behave. You don't see a lot of screaming crying kids acting out in a restaurant in Italy. They don't put up with that.
Anthony Bourdain
I didn't want food that looked unapproachable or ridiculously beautiful.
Anthony Bourdain
I'm of a generation that romanticizes and maybe even over-romanticized things that were painful, that hurt others. I feel that. But I don't know if I have any regrets.
Anthony Bourdain
Travel changes you. As you move through this life and this world you change things slightly, you leave marks behind, however small. And in return, life - and travel - leaves marks on you. Most of the time, those marks - on your body or on your heart - are beautiful. Often, though, they hurt.
Anthony Bourdain
My tastes in what I eat at home would be very familiar to most people who cook for families. I just organize those things a little bit differently.
Anthony Bourdain
If people are working only rice and beans for much of their diet, it says something.
Anthony Bourdain
Drugs didn't work out too well for me.
Anthony Bourdain
