More quotes by Anthony Bourdain
I do my very best to avoid shark fin.
Anthony Bourdain
To me, life without veal stock, pork fat, sausage, organ meat, demi-glace, or even stinky cheese is a life not worth living.
Anthony Bourdain
Travel changes you. As you move through this life and this world you change things slightly, you leave marks behind, however small. And in return, life - and travel - leaves marks on you. Most of the time, those marks - on your body or on your heart - are beautiful. Often, though, they hurt.
Anthony Bourdain
There's something wonderful about drinking in the afternoon. A not-too-cold pint, absolutely alone at the bar - even in this fake-ass Irish pub.
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
People everywhere have been very, very good to me, whether I'm with or without cameras.
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
I'm not looking to freak people out - eating rodents or bugs. I don't do that anymore.
Anthony Bourdain
As you move through this life...you leave marks behind, however small. And in return, life - and travel - leaves marks on you.
Anthony Bourdain
Recognise excellence. Celebrate weirdness and innovation. Oddballs should be cherished, if they can do something other people can't do.
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 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
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
I'm really good at sleeping on planes. I mean, I smell jet fuel and I'm out I'm asleep for takeoff.
Anthony Bourdain
Just because we are not Italian, does not mean we cannot appreciate Michelangelo, it is the same with cuisine.
Anthony Bourdain
Just because I like sushi, doesn't mean I can make sushi. I've come to well understand how many years just to get sushi rice correct. It's a discipline that takes years and years and years. So, I leave that to the experts.
Anthony Bourdain
Margarine? That's not food. I Can't Believe It's Not Butter? I can. If you're planning on using margarine in anything, you can stop reading now, because I won't be able to help you.
Anthony Bourdain
Cream rises. Excellence does have its rewards.
Anthony Bourdain
I've seen zero evidence of any nation on Earth other than Mexico even remotely having the slightest clue what Mexican food is about or even come close to reproducing it. It is perhaps the most misunderstood country and cuisine on Earth.
Anthony Bourdain
Thinking of getting into the leg-breaking business, so I can profitably sell crutches later.
