If you go to chefs all across America and ask them, 'What's your biggest problem right now?,' It is finding people to cook in their restaurants. They're having an enormous, countrywide problem here staffing their operations.
Anthony Bourdain
My tastes in what I eat at home would be very familiar to most people who cook for families. I just organize those things a little bit differently.

Anthony Bourdain
I've seen zero evidence of any nation on Earth other than Mexico even remotely having the slightest clue what Mexican food is about or even come close to reproducing it. It is perhaps the most misunderstood country and cuisine on Earth.
Anthony Bourdain
I like the fact that Melbourne always seems to support their chefs and promote them in ways I find really admirable.
Anthony Bourdain
Naturally, I'm misanthropic. But the Negronis are helping considerably.
Anthony Bourdain
As Americans, we tend to look at Mexican food as nachos, which is not Mexican food really - they don't eat them.
Anthony Bourdain
Meals make the society, hold the fabric together in lots of ways that were charming and interesting and intoxicating to me. The perfect meal, or the best meals, occur in a context that frequently has very little to do with the food itself.
Anthony Bourdain
Unlicensed hooch from a stranger in a parking lot. Good idea? Yes, of course it is.
Anthony Bourdain
I'm really good at sleeping on planes. I mean, I smell jet fuel and I'm out I'm asleep for takeoff.
Anthony Bourdain
The roots of creativity of cooking are hungry people trying to figure out how to take something that's not particularly fresh or tender and transform it into it something delicious that everyone will love.
Anthony Bourdain
I'm a control freak. If you're going to slap my name on something, I would like to control it.
