More quotes by Anthony Bourdain
Travel changes you. As you move through this life and this world you change things slightly, you leave marks behind, however small. And in return, life - and travel - leaves marks on you. Most of the time, those marks - on your body or on your heart - are beautiful. Often, though, they hurt.
Anthony Bourdain
I think we should increase the minimum wage and I think $15 is a good beginning.
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
The fact of the matter is that, for years, the restaurant and service industry has been, to a great extent, built on the backs of often underpaid immigrants of often dubious legal status.
Anthony Bourdain
That without experimentation, a willingness to ask questions and try new things, we shall surely become static, repetitive, moribund.
Anthony Bourdain
When you're shooting that fast end to end, you wake up in a hotel and you don't know where you are. You're dreaming of Singapore, you wake up in Hong Kong. Or you just lose track. It's one of the reasons I'm staying in hotels that I know I've stayed in before, and they don't look like other hotels.
Anthony Bourdain
When dealing with complex transportation issues, the best thing to do is pull up with a cold beer and let somebody else figure it out.

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
I'm not afraid to look like an idiot on TV.
Anthony Bourdain
If you're training in a combat sport, deliciousness takes a backseat.
Anthony Bourdain
The Italians seem to have a better attitude with kids and the food is great!
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
In fairness, you know, I'm a big believer in if your kid makes noise in the restaurant you should remove the child immediately.
Anthony Bourdain
Big stuff and little: learning how to order breakfast in a country where I don't speak the language and haven't been before - that's really satisfying to me. I like that.
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.
Anthony Bourdain
your body is not a temple, it's an amusement park. Enjoy the ride.
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
There's always this assumption that you're going to get everything right immediately. And any professional understands that that's just not so.
Anthony Bourdain
I'm not looking to freak people out - eating rodents or bugs. I don't do that anymore.

I'm evangelical on the subject of some chefs and writers.
