More quotes by Anthony Bourdain
Really annoys me any time I see Asian fusion too. Asia is a big place which Asian are you talking about? You notice it's never Uzbek or Tajik food. It's Thai, and it's generally insulting.
Anthony Bourdain
It's been about a week without alcohol of any kind. I'm enjoying my new, clean-living lifestyle.
Anthony Bourdain
I don't think people should be encouraged to look like Kate Moss I think that's unreasonable. I think the normal human body should be glorified. By the same token, if you need a stick to wash yourself, you're not healthy.
Anthony Bourdain
One of the things is challenging yourself to do a Rome show when everybody's done a Rome show. To find some aspect of food culture or chef culture that people can look at in a new way.
Anthony Bourdain
I'm not looking to freak people out - eating rodents or bugs. I don't do that anymore.
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
I think it's a universal truth that most chefs I know are happiest eating simple, unadorned good things.
Anthony Bourdain
Just because we are not Italian, does not mean we cannot appreciate Michelangelo, it is the same with cuisine.
Anthony Bourdain
Always entertain the possibility that something, no matter how squiggly and scary looking, might just be good.
Anthony Bourdain
I couldn't imagine a more unreliable, more unprofitable way to make a living than writing. My advice? Show up, do the best you can. Keep your day job. If you get a lucky break, don't f*** up. It was helpful to be older because I had made all the really stupid mistakes already.
Anthony Bourdain
Italy is good in the sense that when you bring a child to a restaurant in Italy, they're happy to see it. The waiters will say complimenti and welcome you and dote after the kid. They don't treat you like you just brought in this horrible probably soon-to-be-squealing creature who's going to be difficult.
Anthony Bourdain
[George] Orwell's essays. It's got it all. Great writing, a worldview that I find interesting and useful, and most of it timelessly true.
Anthony Bourdain
There is no Final Resting Place of the Mind.
Anthony Bourdain
I'd never done anything useful as far as my writing.
Anthony Bourdain
If I'm in Rome for only 48 hours, I would consider it a sin against God to not eat cacio e pepe, the most uniquely Roman of pastas, in some crummy little joint where Romans eat. I'd much rather do that than go to the Vatican. That's Rome to me.
Anthony Bourdain
Thinking of getting into the leg-breaking business, so I can profitably sell crutches later.
Anthony Bourdain
I don't have to agree with you to like you or respect you.
Anthony Bourdain
If you get an opportunity to work with David Simon, anybody with good taste would.
Anthony Bourdain
At the end of the day, the TV show is the best job in the world. I get to go anywhere I want, eat and drink whatever I want. As long as I just babble at the camera, other people will pay for it. It's a gift.
Anthony Bourdain
I managed to reach a depth of self-loathing that usually takes a night of drinking to achieve.
Anthony Bourdain
