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.

More quotes by Anthony Bourdain
There's always this assumption that you're going to get everything right immediately. And any professional understands that that's just not so.
Anthony Bourdain
Do you really want to make risotto to order when you have eight guests sitting there? No. It won't work. Most cookbooks won't tell you that. They will say make it and it will come out perfectly. They should tell you you're probably going to screw it up the first 10 times you make it.
Anthony Bourdain
If you go to chefs all across America and ask them, 'What's your biggest problem right now?,' It is finding people to cook in their restaurants. They're having an enormous, countrywide problem here staffing their operations.
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
My house is run, essentially, by an adopted, fully clawed cat with a mean nature.
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
In college, I think I probably positioned myself as an aspiring writer, meaning I dressed sort of extravagantly and adopted all the semi-Byronic affectations, as if I were writing, although I wasn't actually doing any writing.
Anthony Bourdain
I listen a lot to how people speak. I've read a great many good books in my life. I had some excellent English teachers. Surely, those things were helpful.
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
I did go into the Amazonian region of Brazil. They have prehistoric river fish that weigh in at around 600 pounds, which you don’t see anywhere else. And foods that cannot be exported or even found in other parts of Brazil.
Anthony Bourdain
My tastes in what I eat at home would be very familiar to most people who cook for families. I just organize those things a little bit differently.
Anthony Bourdain
I think as a moral question, restaurant workers should get paid more.
Anthony Bourdain
I have the best job in the world.
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
Italy is good in the sense that when you bring a child to a restaurant in Italy, they're happy to see it. The waiters will say complimenti and welcome you and dote after the kid. They don't treat you like you just brought in this horrible probably soon-to-be-squealing creature who's going to be difficult.
Anthony Bourdain
I think it's important if you're going to write a cookbook, it should sound like you talking - it should be things you actually believe, otherwise I'm not interested.
Anthony Bourdain
I'm a guy who should not have a lot of free time. But when it comes to vacation, I like to pull the plug completely. It's all about my daughter - I'm no longer the star of my own movie.
Anthony Bourdain
Really annoys me any time I see Asian fusion too. Asia is a big place which Asian are you talking about? You notice it's never Uzbek or Tajik food. It's Thai, and it's generally insulting.
Anthony Bourdain
I'm not looking to freak people out - eating rodents or bugs. I don't do that anymore.
Anthony Bourdain
The world they live in now is in no way the world the Michelin system was set up to evaluate back in France, which was all about motorists and seeing if it was worth driving an extra 50 miles for a restaurant. It's a silly thing. Why do you want to help a tire company? You don't owe them nothing.
Anthony Bourdain
