Big stuff and little: learning how to order breakfast in a country where I don't speak the language and haven't been before - that's really satisfying to me. I like that.

And now to sleep, to dream...perchance to fart.
Anthony Bourdain
My mom had Julia Child and 'The Fannie Farmer Cookbook' on top of the refrigerator, and she had a small repertoire of French dishes.
Anthony Bourdain
I think we should be honest about who is working in our kitchens.
Anthony Bourdain
Having been a chef for some many years, I understand what it's like to work really, really hard to get good at something, only to have someone piss all over it.
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
It's that show Friends. Ruined coffee forever.

As a chef I’m not your dietitian or your ethicist, I’m in the pleasure business.
Anthony Bourdain
When you're shooting that fast end to end, you wake up in a hotel and you don't know where you are. You're dreaming of Singapore, you wake up in Hong Kong. Or you just lose track. It's one of the reasons I'm staying in hotels that I know I've stayed in before, and they don't look like other hotels.
Anthony Bourdain
I just do the best I can and write something interesting, to tell stories in an interesting way and move forward from there.
Anthony Bourdain
I think it's a universal truth that most chefs I know are happiest eating simple, unadorned good things.
Anthony Bourdain
your body is not a temple, it's an amusement park. Enjoy the ride.
Anthony Bourdain
Understand, when you eat meat, that something did die. You have an obligation to value it - not just the sirloin but also all those wonderful tough little bits.
Anthony Bourdain
I have the best job in the world.
Anthony Bourdain
I'd like to play bass like Bootsy Collins. I'm serious. That would be my dream.
Anthony Bourdain
I was a serious comic collector and fanboy as a kid. I wanted very badly to draw comic books for a lot of my childhood and early adolescence. So when you have an unfulfilled dream like that, when years later you find yourself in a position to make a graphic novel - hell yeah, I'm going to do that.
Anthony Bourdain
Without Montreal, Canada would be hopeless.
Anthony Bourdain
I managed to reach a depth of self-loathing that usually takes a night of drinking to achieve.
