I like telling stories, and I tell stories that interest me. It would be boring to have to go to nothing but the best restaurants. That would be a misery to me.
Anthony Bourdain

Norman Mailer described the desire to be cool as a decision to encourage the psychopath in oneself, to explore that domain of experience where security is boredom and therefore sickness and one exists in the present, in that enormous present which is without past or future, memory or planned intention.

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.

For a moment, or a second, the pinched expressions of the cynical, world-weary, throat-cutting, miserable bastards we've all had to become disappears, when we're confronted with something as simple as a plate of food.

your body is not a temple, it's an amusement park. Enjoy the ride.

Those places I don't understand, just doing bad food. It takes some doing. Making good pasta is so much easier than making bad stuff. It actually takes quite an effort to make poor linguine pomodora.

If people are working only rice and beans for much of their diet, it says something.
Anthony Bourdain
Image
I, personally, think there is a really danger of taking food too seriously. Food should be part of the bigger picture.

The Italians seem to have a better attitude with kids and the food is great!

In this way, writers are indeed, as Henry Miller suggested, traitors to the human race. We may turn a light on inequity, injustice, and oppression from time to time, but we regularly kill what we love in insidious fashion.
Anthony Bourdain
Image
I believe - to the best of my recollection, anyway - that I soon made the classic error of moving from margaritas to actual shots of straight tequila. It does make it easier to meet new people.
Anthony Bourdain

Street food, I believe, is the salvation of the human race.

The cookbooks I value the most in my collection are the ones where you hear the author's voice and point-of-view in every recipe.

Unlicensed hooch from a stranger in a parking lot. Good idea? Yes, of course it is.

Image
People are generally proud of their food. A willingness to eat and drink with people without fear and prejudice... they open up to you in ways that somebody visiting who is driven by a story may not get.

Good food does lead to sex. As it should. And in a perfect world, good music does too.

And now to sleep, to dream...perchance to fart.

My wife was easy because she trains [jiu-jitsu] all the time. She's pretty much on a completely different diet. I always just threw meat at her and she's happy on a 100 percent protein diet, so we seldom ate together.

Do you really want to make risotto to order when you have eight guests sitting there? No. It won't work. Most cookbooks won't tell you that. They will say make it and it will come out perfectly. They should tell you you're probably going to screw it up the first 10 times you make it.

Drugs didn't work out too well for me.
