Anthony Bourdain

Anthony Bourdain
If you're training in a combat sport, deliciousness takes a backseat.
Anthony Bourdain
I'm a control freak. If you're going to slap my name on something, I would like to control it.
Anthony Bourdain
I could do nothing but Brooklyn shows for the rest of my career, and I could die ignorant.
Anthony Bourdain
Cream rises. Excellence does have its rewards.
Anthony Bourdain
It's that show Friends. Ruined coffee forever.
Anthony Bourdain
Where once they used to say, 'Cocaine is God's way of saying you have too much money' - now, maybe EDM is. Come ye lords and princelings of douchedom.
Anthony Bourdain
New Orleans is a glorious mutation
