More quotes by Anthony Bourdain
Street food, I believe, is the salvation of the human race.
Anthony Bourdain
Without Montreal, Canada would be hopeless.
Anthony Bourdain
If people are eating mostly pickles after many generations, where did that come from? It's reflective of history, often a painful history. It's central to a culture, to a history, to a personal story. It's communication at its most fundamental.
Anthony Bourdain
Anything that improves people's expectations of a meal is good for the world. Anything that weans even one kid or one adult away from Chili's or T.G.I. Friday's is definitely a win for the good guys.
Anthony Bourdain
If I'm training I'm cutting weight for a competition. I'm hard. I'm pretty much eating animal protein and that's it. No rice, no beans, certainly no sweets.

What you're going to be eating in the next year is decided by chefs. If the consensus is that pot-bellies are in next season, that's what's on your plate. And I think that's a good thing, because we know, obviously, about food.
Anthony Bourdain
Anyone who doesn't have a great time in San Francisco is pretty much dead to me.
Anthony Bourdain

Anthony Bourdain
The journey is part of the experience - an expression of the seriousness of one's intent. One doesn't take the A train to Mecca.
Anthony Bourdain
Thinking of getting into the leg-breaking business, so I can profitably sell crutches later.
Anthony Bourdain
People everywhere have been very, very good to me, whether I'm with or without cameras.
Anthony Bourdain
Writing anything is a treason of sorts.
Anthony Bourdain
No one understands and appreciates the American Dream of hard work leading to material rewards better than a non-American.
Anthony Bourdain
I have the best job in the world.
Anthony Bourdain
I would frankly be shocked if Donald Trump even knows how to use chopsticks or is even able to manipulate them with those tiny little fingers.
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
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.
