More quotes by 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
If you’re twenty-two, physically fit, hungry to learn and be better, I urge you to travel – as far and as widely as possible. Sleep on floors if you have to. Find out how other people live and eat and cook. Learn from them – wherever you go.
Anthony Bourdain
What is left of the poor? Try to buy a fresh f**king vegetable in West Baltimore. It is a not completely inconceivable scenario in the future, we'll all look like that... Waddling from convenience store to fast food outlet, chewing mindlessly on 99 cent hamburgers.
Anthony Bourdain
The biggest empty space, the biggest gap in what should be a premier and always vibrant food scene in America is that we don't have hawker centers like they do in Singapore, basically food courts where mom and pop specialists can set up shop in fairly hygienic little stalls all up to health code making one dish they've been doing forever and ever.
Anthony Bourdain
Being on television, being recognizable, this is unnatural.
Anthony Bourdain
I always entertain the notion that I'm wrong, or that I'll have to revise my opinion. Most of the time that feels good sometimes it really hurts and is embarrassing.
Anthony Bourdain
I wouldn't want to compare myself to David Byrne whom I consider a genius, but what I think what we have in common is that he's also a guy who is very interested in the world and who has a lot of passions beyond singing and playing guitar.
Anthony Bourdain
Good food does lead to sex. As it should. And in a perfect world, good music does too.
Anthony Bourdain
Being a vegan is a first-world phenomenon, completely self-indulgent.
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'd love to play bass with Parliament Funkadelic, but I can't play bass, so I don't think that's going to happen.
Anthony Bourdain
I lurched away from the table after a few hours feeling like Elvis in Vegas - fat, drugged, and completely out of it.
Anthony Bourdain
The fact that over 50 per cent of the residents of Toronto are not from Canada, that is always a good thing, creatively, and for food especially. That is easily a city's biggest strength, and it is Toronto's unique strength.
Anthony Bourdain
I don't have to agree with you to like you or respect you.
Anthony Bourdain
Jiro Ono serves Edo-style traditional sushi, the same 20 or 30 pieces he's been making his whole life, and he's still unsatisfied with the quality and every day wakes up and trains to make the best. And that is as close to a religious experience in food as one is likely to get.
Anthony Bourdain
I go anywhere I want, do whatever I want when I get there, they let me make self-indulgent TV about that experience, and give me about as much creative freedom as anyone's ever had in the history of television.
Anthony Bourdain
Look, getting bullied in school and coming home crying in the rain and my mom making me a can of Campbell's Tomato Soup with some oysterettes. It was comfort food that is what food should be.
Anthony Bourdain
Don't lie about it. You made a mistake. Admit it and move on. Just don't do it again. Ever
Anthony Bourdain
If anything is good for pounding humility into you permanently, it's the restaurant business.
Anthony Bourdain
I'm at my most productive before I even have my first cup of coffee. I only get slower and stupider as the day progresses.
Anthony Bourdain
