More quotes by Anthony Bourdain
I, personally, think there is a really danger of taking food too seriously. Food should be part of the bigger picture.
Anthony Bourdain
When your signature dish is hamburger in between a doughnut, and you've been cheerfully selling this stuff knowing all along that you've got Type 2 Diabetes... It's in bad taste if nothing else.
Anthony Bourdain
Cooking breakfast and brunch professionally really kind of ruined breakfast service for me for a long time.
Anthony Bourdain
It's that show Friends. Ruined coffee forever.
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

Anthony Bourdain

Anthony Bourdain
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.
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
Being on television, being recognizable, this is unnatural.
Anthony Bourdain
I do my very best to avoid shark fin.
Anthony Bourdain
I could do nothing but Brooklyn shows for the rest of my career, and I could die ignorant.
Anthony Bourdain
Luck is not a business model.
Anthony Bourdain
your body is not a temple, it's an amusement park. Enjoy the ride.
Anthony Bourdain
I can unload my opinion on anybody at anytime.
Anthony Bourdain
Writing anything is a treason of sorts.
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
I could eat bloody Elvis - if you put enough vinegar on him.
Anthony Bourdain
Anything that improves people's expectations of a meal is good for the world. Anything that weans even one kid or one adult away from Chili's or T.G.I. Friday's is definitely a win for the good guys.
Anthony Bourdain
If I'm training I'm cutting weight for a competition. I'm hard. I'm pretty much eating animal protein and that's it. No rice, no beans, certainly no sweets.
Anthony Bourdain
