More quotes by Anthony Bourdain
You learn a lot about someone when you share a meal together.
Anthony Bourdain
I'm excited by any food that's prepared by someone who's proud of what they're doing, who puts a personal imprint on food.
Anthony Bourdain
Chefs are fond of hyperbole, so they can certainly talk that way. But on the whole, I think they probably have a more open mind than most people.
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 you’re twenty-two, physically fit, hungry to learn and be better, I urge you to travel – as far and as widely as possible. Sleep on floors if you have to. Find out how other people live and eat and cook. Learn from them – wherever you go.
Anthony Bourdain
I've been cooking for a nine-year-old and her friends for the better part of seven or eight years. It's how I cook today, it's what makes me happy. I tend to overcompensate for my long absences when I'm home by cooking and it's therapeutic to me - it's how I express love for my daughter. It felt good to do.
Anthony Bourdain
Everything important I learned, I learned as a dishwasher.
Anthony Bourdain
I eat strategically. If I know I'm having a big Chinese banquet tomorrow, I'm not eating a big dinner tonight, and I'm not having breakfast.
Anthony Bourdain
Sometimes the greatest meals on vacations are the ones you find when Plan A falls through.
Anthony Bourdain
Jiro Ono serves Edo-style traditional sushi, the same 20 or 30 pieces he's been making his whole life, and he's still unsatisfied with the quality and every day wakes up and trains to make the best. And that is as close to a religious experience in food as one is likely to get.
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
Anyone who's a chef, who loves food, ultimately knows that all that matters is: Is it good? Does it give pleasure?
Anthony Bourdain
Going to Southeast Asia for the first time and tasting that spectrum of flavors - that certainly changed my whole palate, the kind of foods I crave. A lot of the dishes I used to love became boring to me.
Anthony Bourdain
I don't think people should be encouraged to look like Kate Moss I think that's unreasonable. I think the normal human body should be glorified. By the same token, if you need a stick to wash yourself, you're not healthy.
Anthony Bourdain
You have to be a romantic to invest yourself, your money, and your time in cheese.
Anthony Bourdain
They're professionals at this in Russia, so no matter how many Jell-O shots or Jager shooters you might have downed at college mixers, no matter how good a drinker you might think you are, don't forget that the Russians - any Russian - can drink you under the table.
Anthony Bourdain
I love New York. I'm a guy for whom a New York accent is a comforting thing.
Anthony Bourdain
I'm really happy to see Filipino cuisine starting to really take hold outside of the Pinoy community.
Anthony Bourdain
It's that show Friends. Ruined coffee forever.
Anthony Bourdain
I managed to reach a depth of self-loathing that usually takes a night of drinking to achieve.
Anthony Bourdain
