More quotes by Anthony Bourdain
I didn't want food that looked unapproachable or ridiculously beautiful.
Anthony Bourdain
I eat strategically. If I know I'm having a big Chinese banquet tomorrow, I'm not eating a big dinner tonight, and I'm not having breakfast.
Anthony Bourdain
Naturally, I'm misanthropic. But the Negronis are helping considerably.
Anthony Bourdain
I don't have to agree with you to like you or respect you.
Anthony Bourdain
If I were trapped in one city and had to eat one nation's cuisine for the rest of my life, I would not mind eating Japanese. I adore Japanese food. I love it.
Anthony Bourdain
Food is so personal - I mean someone is talking to you when people are cooking for you. I like to hear an identifiable voice.
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
Hong Kong is a wonderful, mixed-up town where you've got great food and adventure. First and foremost, it's a great place to experience China in a relatively accessible way.
Anthony Bourdain
I just do the best I can and write something interesting, to tell stories in an interesting way and move forward from there.
Anthony Bourdain
I'm a comic nerd. I'm a former serious collector for much of my childhood and early teen years I wanted to draw underground comics.
Anthony Bourdain
The cookbooks I value the most in my collection are the ones where you hear the author's voice and point-of-view in every recipe.
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
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
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'm a control freak. If you're going to slap my name on something, I would like to control it.
Anthony Bourdain
I'm certainly dismayed by what I'm seeing now. There's a lot of ugliness of a kind I've never seen in my lifetime, or heard in my lifetime. But, look, I'm a romantic. I'm hopeful.
Anthony Bourdain
Bad food is made without pride, by cooks who have no pride, and no love. Bad food is made by chefs who are indifferent, or who are trying to be everything to everybody, who are trying to please everyone. Bad food is fake food, food that shows fear and lack of confidence in people's ability to discern or to make decisions about their lives.
Anthony Bourdain
My love of soft, runny cheese - it's impossible to resist.
Anthony Bourdain
Going to Southeast Asia for the first time and tasting that spectrum of flavors - that certainly changed my whole palate, the kind of foods I crave. A lot of the dishes I used to love became boring to me.
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
