For a dinner date, I eat light all day to save room, then I go all in: I choose this meal and this order, and I choose you, the person across from me, to share it with. There's a beautiful intimacy in a meal like that.

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
The Italians and Spanish, the Chinese and Vietnamese see food as part of a larger, more essential and pleasurable part of daily life. Not as an experience to be collected or bragged about - or as a ritual like filling up a car - but as something else that gives pleasure, like sex or music, or a good nap in the afternoon.
Anthony Bourdain
Good food and good eating are about risk.
Anthony Bourdain
I'm a comic nerd. I'm a former serious collector for much of my childhood and early teen years I wanted to draw underground comics.
Anthony Bourdain
I often look ridiculous in Japan. There's really no way to eat in Japan, particularly kaiseki in a traditional ryokan, without offending the Japanese horribly. Every gesture, every movement is just so atrociously wrong, and the more I try, the more hilarious it is.
Anthony Bourdain
I do my very best to avoid shark fin.
Anthony Bourdain
I'm not besotted with the notion of being on CNN to the point that I'm going to suddenly morph into Anderson Cooper or Christiane Amanpour. I'm not a foreign correspondent.
Anthony Bourdain
I love bacon, but I don't think we need it on everything.
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
Even on the Serengeti, it ain't a barbecue if there ain't some kind of beer.
Anthony Bourdain
My family is very far from normal.
Anthony Bourdain
Thinking of getting into the leg-breaking business, so I can profitably sell crutches later.
Anthony Bourdain
I lurched away from the table after a few hours feeling like Elvis in Vegas - fat, drugged, and completely out of it.
Anthony Bourdain
Drugs didn't work out too well for me.
Anthony Bourdain
I wouldn't want to compare myself to David Byrne whom I consider a genius, but what I think what we have in common is that he's also a guy who is very interested in the world and who has a lot of passions beyond singing and playing guitar.
Anthony Bourdain
When I'm back in New York - and this is a terrible thing to complain about - I eat a lot more really, really good food than perhaps I'd like to. So many of my friends are really good chefs. It's kind of like being in the Mafia.
Anthony Bourdain
Luck is not a business model.
Anthony Bourdain
I'm really happy to see Filipino cuisine starting to really take hold outside of the Pinoy community.
Anthony Bourdain
Naturally, I'm misanthropic. But the Negronis are helping considerably.
Anthony Bourdain
Just because we are not Italian, does not mean we cannot appreciate Michelangelo, it is the same with cuisine.
