Anthony Bourdain
People everywhere have been very, very good to me, whether I'm with or without cameras.
Anthony Bourdain
I admire vegetarians who refuse to eat nothing but vegetables in their homes, but I also admire those who put aside those principles or those preferences when they travel. Just to be a good guest.
Anthony Bourdain
