More quotes by Anthony Bourdain
In fairness, you know, I'm a big believer in if your kid makes noise in the restaurant you should remove the child immediately.
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
If you have a good experience in a restaurant, you tell 2 people. If you have a bad experience, you tell 10 people.
Anthony Bourdain

Anthony Bourdain
I think fine dining is dying out everywhere... but I think there will be - and there has to always be - room for at least a small number of really fine, old-school fine-dining restaurants.
Anthony Bourdain
For a moment, or a second, the pinched expressions of the cynical, world-weary, throat-cutting, miserable bastards we've all had to become disappears, when we're confronted with something as simple as a plate of food.
Anthony Bourdain
A good, stinky French cheese or a good Stilton. These are things I really, really love. Dessert I can obviously live without.
Anthony Bourdain
I wish I could play bass like Larry Graham or Bootsy Collins. My God, I'd give up just about everything else for that.
Anthony Bourdain
I don't like to see animals in pain. That was very uncomfortable to me. I don't like factory farming. I'm not an advocate for the meat industry.
Anthony Bourdain
When dealing with complex transportation issues, the best thing to do is pull up with a cold beer and let somebody else figure it out.
Anthony Bourdain
Tokyo would probably be the foreign city if I had to eat one city's food for the rest of my life, every day. It would have to be Tokyo, and I think the majority of chefs you ask that question would answer the same way.
Anthony Bourdain
We learn as professionals by repetition, by getting it wrong, getting yelled at and doing it again.
Anthony Bourdain
Every chef I know, their cholesterol is through the roof. And mine's not so great.
Anthony Bourdain
I'm a control freak. If you're going to slap my name on something, I would like to control it.
