Anthony Bourdain
I'm really good at sleeping on planes. I mean, I smell jet fuel and I'm out I'm asleep for takeoff.
Anthony Bourdain
If anything is good for pounding humility into you permanently, it's the restaurant business.
Anthony Bourdain
Recognise excellence. Celebrate weirdness and innovation. Oddballs should be cherished, if they can do something other people can't do.
Anthony Bourdain
I love New York. I'm a guy for whom a New York accent is a comforting thing.
Anthony Bourdain
Anyone who's a chef, who loves food, ultimately knows that all that matters is: Is it good? Does it give pleasure?
Anthony Bourdain
