More quotes by Anthony Bourdain
The Kobe craze really annoyed me. Most of the practitioners had no real understanding of the product and were abusing it and exploiting it in terrible and ridiculous ways. Kobe beef should not be used in a hamburger. It's completely pointless.
Anthony Bourdain
The cooking profession, while it's a noble craft and a noble calling, 'cause you're doing something useful - you're feeding people, you're nurturing them, you're providing sustenance - it was never pure.
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
I'm not impressed by any cooks who can brag about a filet mignon. A guy who can take the neck of a shank or can use tripe to make into something delicious is really interesting to me that's impressive.
Anthony Bourdain
I am in no way supportive of hunting for trophies or sport - would never do it and don't like it that others do. But if you kill it, then eat it, it's fine.
Anthony Bourdain
You have to be a romantic to invest yourself, your money, and your time in cheese.
Anthony Bourdain
I feel that if Jacques Pepin shows you how to make an omelet, the matter is pretty much settled. That's God talking.
Anthony Bourdain
Avoid at all costs that vile spew you see rotting in oil in screwtop jars. Too lazy to peel fresh? You don't deserve to eat garlic.
Anthony Bourdain
Good food does lead to sex. As it should. And in a perfect world, good music does too.
Anthony Bourdain
That without experimentation, a willingness to ask questions and try new things, we shall surely become static, repetitive, moribund.
Anthony Bourdain
My love of soft, runny cheese - it's impossible to resist.
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
Thinking of getting into the leg-breaking business, so I can profitably sell crutches later.
Anthony Bourdain
If you get an opportunity to work with David Simon, anybody with good taste would.
Anthony Bourdain
When I was writing 'Kitchen Confidential,' I was in my 40s, I had never paid rent on time, I was 10 years behind on my taxes, I had never owned my own furniture or a car.
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
You can call me the bad boy chef all you want. I'm not going to freak out about it. I'm not that bad. I'm certainly not a boy, and it's been a while since I've been a chef.
Anthony Bourdain
Just because we are not Italian, does not mean we cannot appreciate Michelangelo, it is the same with cuisine.
Anthony Bourdain
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.
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.
