More quotes by Anthony Bourdain
I couldn't imagine a more unreliable, more unprofitable way to make a living than writing. My advice? Show up, do the best you can. Keep your day job. If you get a lucky break, don't f*** up. It was helpful to be older because I had made all the really stupid mistakes already.
Anthony Bourdain
Chefs are fond of hyperbole, so they can certainly talk that way. But on the whole, I think they probably have a more open mind than most people.
Anthony Bourdain
Free time is my enemy. I recognized early on I'm not a guy who should have a lot of time to contemplate the mysteries of the universe. I need to stay busy... That's just the nature of my demons.
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

Anthony Bourdain
Good food is very often, even most often, simple food.
Anthony Bourdain
I have the best job in the world.
Anthony Bourdain
Even on the Serengeti, it ain't a barbecue if there ain't some kind of beer.
Anthony Bourdain
Doing graphic novels is cool! It's fun! You get to write something, and then see it visually page by page, panel by panel, working with the artist, you get to see it fleshed out.
Anthony Bourdain
I believe - to the best of my recollection, anyway - that I soon made the classic error of moving from margaritas to actual shots of straight tequila. It does make it easier to meet new people.
Anthony Bourdain
You dropped a 500-seat deuce on Times Square.
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
The way you make an omelet reveals your character.
Anthony Bourdain
I managed to reach a depth of self-loathing that usually takes a night of drinking to achieve.
Anthony Bourdain
You know, from age 17 on, my paycheck was coming from cooking and working in kitchens.
Anthony Bourdain
Very few restaurant workers could even dream of eating in the restaurants they work in. Many do not make a living wage.
Anthony Bourdain
Jiro Ono serves Edo-style traditional sushi, the same 20 or 30 pieces he's been making his whole life, and he's still unsatisfied with the quality and every day wakes up and trains to make the best. And that is as close to a religious experience in food as one is likely to get.
Anthony Bourdain
If you've ever hauled a 28-pound two-year-old around New York, you'll find that men fold at the knees a lot quicker than women.
Anthony Bourdain
Just because we are not Italian, does not mean we cannot appreciate Michelangelo, it is the same with cuisine.
Anthony Bourdain
There are people with otherwise chaotic and disorganized lives, a certain type of person that's always found a home in the restaurant business in much the same way that a lot of people find a home in the military.
