More quotes by Anthony Bourdain
I'm not looking to freak people out - eating rodents or bugs. I don't do that anymore.
Anthony Bourdain
You have an impeccable argument if you said that Singapore, Hong Kong, and Tokyo are food capitals. They have a maximum amount of great stuff to eat in the smallest areas.
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
Luck is not a business model.
Anthony Bourdain
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.

Anthony Bourdain
Writing anything is a treason of sorts.
Anthony Bourdain
I'd like to make a show with Keith Richards.
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
I'm a pretty decent writer. It comes easy to me. I don't agonize over sentences. I write like I talk. I try to make them good books.
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
As Americans, we tend to look at Mexican food as nachos, which is not Mexican food really - they don't eat them.
Anthony Bourdain
I would like to see people more aware of where their food comes from. I would like to see small farmers empowered. I feed my daughter almost exclusively organic food.
Anthony Bourdain
I'm away 250 days a year. It's a tough situation.
Anthony Bourdain
I didn't want food that looked unapproachable or ridiculously beautiful.
Anthony Bourdain
I listen a lot to how people speak. I've read a great many good books in my life. I had some excellent English teachers. Surely, those things were helpful.
Anthony Bourdain
I was a journeyman chef of middling abilities. Whatever authority I have as a commenter on this world comes from the sheer weight of 28 years in the business. I kicked around for 28 years and came out the other end alive and able to form a sentence.
