More quotes by Anthony Bourdain
You know, from age 17 on, my paycheck was coming from cooking and working in kitchens.
Anthony Bourdain
Get up early and go to the local produce markets. In Latin America and Asia, those are usually great places to find delicious food stalls serving cheap, authentic and fresh specialties.
Anthony Bourdain
The bible of cooking. The all-time argument ender. Early in my cooking career, I wielded my Larousse like a weapon and it never let me down.
Anthony Bourdain
When I was writing 'Kitchen Confidential,' I was in my 40s, I had never paid rent on time, I was 10 years behind on my taxes, I had never owned my own furniture or a car.
Anthony Bourdain
I'm a pretty decent writer. It comes easy to me. I don't agonize over sentences. I write like I talk. I try to make them good books.

Anthony Bourdain
People everywhere have been very, very good to me, whether I'm with or without cameras.
Anthony Bourdain
I believe - to the best of my recollection, anyway - that I soon made the classic error of moving from margaritas to actual shots of straight tequila. It does make it easier to meet new people.
Anthony Bourdain
I could do nothing but Brooklyn shows for the rest of my career, and I could die ignorant.
Anthony Bourdain
I can unload my opinion on anybody at anytime.
Anthony Bourdain
I make friends faster and easier than journalists.
Anthony Bourdain
Maybe that’s enlightenment enough: to know that there is no final resting place of the mind no moment of smug clarity. Perhaps wisdom...is realizing how small I am, and unwise, and how far I have yet to go. -Anthony Bourdain
Anthony Bourdain
We learn as professionals by repetition, by getting it wrong, getting yelled at and doing it again.
Anthony Bourdain
Without new ideas success can become stale
Anthony Bourdain
It's very rarely a good career move to have a conscience.
Anthony Bourdain
I'm a decent cook I'm a decent chef. None of my friends would ever have hired me at any point in my career. Period.
Anthony Bourdain
If anything is good for pounding humility into you permanently, it's the restaurant business.
Anthony Bourdain
I do my very best to avoid shark fin.
