More quotes by Anthony Bourdain
I like telling stories, and I tell stories that interest me. It would be boring to have to go to nothing but the best restaurants. That would be a misery to me.
Anthony Bourdain
When you're training for jiu-jitsu, particularly if you're training for a competition, you have to be pretty prescribed in the variety of what you eat.
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
In fairness, you know, I'm a big believer in if your kid makes noise in the restaurant you should remove the child immediately.

As incisively pointed out in the documentary Food Inc., an overwhelmingly large percentage of new, healthy, and organic alternative food products are actually owned by the same parent companies that scared us into the organic aisle in the first place. They got you comin' and goin' has never been truer.

Trying to micromanage the perfect vacation is always a disaster. That leads to terrible times. If you get lost and you just end up eating just anywhere, you know, you see a bunch of Venetians sitting around smoking cigarettes, eating something unrecognizable in a dark alley somewhere, chances are it's interesting.
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
If I'm an advocate for anything, it's to move. As far as you can, as much as you can. Across the ocean, or simply across the river. The extent to which you can walk in someone else's shoes or at least eat their food, it's a plus for everybody. Open your mind, get up off the couch, move.
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
Drink heavily with locals whenever possible.
Anthony Bourdain
Good food and good eating are about risk.
Anthony Bourdain
When dealing with complex transportation issues, the best thing to do is pull up with a cold beer and let somebody else figure it out.
Anthony Bourdain
My family is very far from normal.
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.

Unlicensed hooch from a stranger in a parking lot. Good idea? Yes, of course it is.
