More quotes by Anthony Bourdain
Venezuela is another place I'd like very much to go, which is proving very difficult. I have not been there to make a show and I'd like to, very much.
Anthony Bourdain
My daughter takes pride in showing up with stuff that other kids envy or are freaked out by, so I send her to school with grilled octopus.
Anthony Bourdain
My daughter always behaved in restaurants. And if she didn't, she's going out. I mean, one of the parents is going to take her outside. Immediately.
Anthony Bourdain
I feel that if Jacques Pepin shows you how to make an omelet, the matter is pretty much settled. That's God talking.
Anthony Bourdain
Most of the time, I'm fighting guys who are 22 years old, former college wrestlers, athletes, kids who are in much better shape than me. Often people who are much bigger and wider than me. It can be dispiriting at first.
Anthony Bourdain
We now have a generation of people who in many cases feel that if they become chefs, they'll get a TV show. They have a signature haircut, a year into the business, or a branding arrangement with a shoe company. I don't really relate to that. I guess this is the world we live in now.
Anthony Bourdain
I'm not afraid to look like an idiot on TV.
Anthony Bourdain
Even on the Serengeti, it ain't a barbecue if there ain't some kind of beer.
Anthony Bourdain
PETA doesn't want stressed animals to be cruelly crowded into sheds, ankle-deep in their own crap, because they don't want any animals to die ever and basically think chickens should, in time, gain the right to vote. I don't want animals stressed or crowded or treated cruelly or inhumanely because that makes them probably less delicious.
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 bible of cooking. The all-time argument ender. Early in my cooking career, I wielded my Larousse like a weapon and it never let me down.
Anthony Bourdain
You know, from age 17 on, my paycheck was coming from cooking and working in kitchens.
Anthony Bourdain
I’m always secretly the most pleased when a show just really, really looks good and when my camera guys are really happy with the images they got.
Anthony Bourdain
If you're training in a combat sport, deliciousness takes a backseat.
Anthony Bourdain
What's the opposite of suck? Un-suck?
Anthony Bourdain
It would be an egregious mistake to ever refer to me in the same breath as most of the people I write about.
Anthony Bourdain
Cream rises. Excellence does have its rewards.
Anthony Bourdain
I admire vegetarians who refuse to eat nothing but vegetables in their homes, but I also admire those who put aside those principles or those preferences when they travel. Just to be a good guest.
Anthony Bourdain
I'm definitely looking forward to the day when I stop working - if I ever stop working. I like the idea of keeling over in my tomato vines in Sardinia or northern Italy.
Anthony Bourdain
The older I get, and the more I travel in particular, the less I care about what exactly is in the dish than who's cooking it and why.
