More quotes by Anthony Bourdain
My house is run, essentially, by an adopted, fully clawed cat with a mean nature.
Anthony Bourdain
My mom had Julia Child and 'The Fannie Farmer Cookbook' on top of the refrigerator, and she had a small repertoire of French dishes.
Anthony Bourdain
The Italians and Spanish, the Chinese and Vietnamese see food as part of a larger, more essential and pleasurable part of daily life. Not as an experience to be collected or bragged about - or as a ritual like filling up a car - but as something else that gives pleasure, like sex or music, or a good nap in the afternoon.
Anthony Bourdain
I think fine dining is dying out everywhere... but I think there will be - and there has to always be - room for at least a small number of really fine, old-school fine-dining restaurants.
Anthony Bourdain
The older I get, and the more I travel in particular, the less I care about what exactly is in the dish than who's cooking it and why.
Anthony Bourdain
There's something not normal about you if you're writing a book about yourself, or about anything. And if you're the kind of person who can deal with being recognized by strangers and if that's tolerable or pleasing to you, and not immediately terrifying, that's not normal either.
Anthony Bourdain
I wish I could play bass like Larry Graham or Bootsy Collins. My God, I'd give up just about everything else for that.
Anthony Bourdain
At the end of a dinner at my house, my kitchen sink is filled with dishes and there's nothing pretty about the garbage.
Anthony Bourdain
Food is so personal - I mean someone is talking to you when people are cooking for you. I like to hear an identifiable voice.
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
There is no Final Resting Place of the Mind.
Anthony Bourdain
Recognise excellence. Celebrate weirdness and innovation. Oddballs should be cherished, if they can do something other people can't do.
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
I'm not going to get off the pony as long as they let me ride it.
Anthony Bourdain
America's most dangerous export was, is and always will be our fast-food outlets.
Anthony Bourdain
I, personally, think there is a really danger of taking food too seriously. Food should be part of the bigger picture.
Anthony Bourdain
I am in no way supportive of hunting for trophies or sport - would never do it and don't like it that others do. But if you kill it, then eat it, it's fine.
Anthony Bourdain
Southeast Asia has a real grip on me. From the very first time I went there, it was a fulfillment of my childhood fantasies of the way travel should be.
Anthony Bourdain
I'm not searching for hard news I'm not a journalist, but I'm interested in pushing to boundaries of where we can do the kind of stories that we want to do. I mean, it's a big world and CNN has made it a lot bigger and they haven't flinched.
Anthony Bourdain
Having been a chef for some many years, I understand what it's like to work really, really hard to get good at something, only to have someone piss all over it.
Anthony Bourdain
