More quotes by 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

Anthony Bourdain
Always entertain the possibility that something, no matter how squiggly and scary looking, might just be good.
Anthony Bourdain
I think it's a universal truth that most chefs I know are happiest eating simple, unadorned good things.
Anthony Bourdain
Good food and good eating are about risk.
Anthony Bourdain
I'm of a generation that romanticizes and maybe even over-romanticized things that were painful, that hurt others. I feel that. But I don't know if I have any regrets.
Anthony Bourdain
Maybe that’s enlightenment enough: to know that there is no final resting place of the mind no moment of smug clarity. Perhaps wisdom...is realizing how small I am, and unwise, and how far I have yet to go. -Anthony Bourdain
Anthony Bourdain
I would frankly be shocked if Donald Trump even knows how to use chopsticks or is even able to manipulate them with those tiny little fingers.
