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
Good food and good eating are about risk.
Anthony Bourdain
Hong Kong is a wonderful, mixed-up town where you've got great food and adventure. First and foremost, it's a great place to experience China in a relatively accessible way.
Anthony Bourdain
Drugs didn't work out too well for me.
Anthony Bourdain
If you've ever hauled a 28-pound two-year-old around New York, you'll find that men fold at the knees a lot quicker than women.
Anthony Bourdain
Being on television, being recognizable, this is unnatural.
Anthony Bourdain
I, a product of the New Frontier and Great Society, honestly believed that the world pretty much owed me a living--all I had to do was wait around in order to live better than my parents.
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
That without experimentation, a willingness to ask questions and try new things, we shall surely become static, repetitive, moribund.
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
