More quotes by Anthony Bourdain
The fact of the matter is that, for years, the restaurant and service industry has been, to a great extent, built on the backs of often underpaid immigrants of often dubious legal status.
Anthony Bourdain
I’m a Twitter addict. Jose Andres is a serial tweeter. It’s funny to see which chefs have embraced it, and the different paths they take.
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
You have to be a romantic to invest yourself, your money, and your time in cheese.
Anthony Bourdain
I don't snack. I don't generally eat sweets or drink soda. I never eat between meals or even before big ones.
Anthony Bourdain
I'm certainly dismayed by what I'm seeing now. There's a lot of ugliness of a kind I've never seen in my lifetime, or heard in my lifetime. But, look, I'm a romantic. I'm hopeful.
Anthony Bourdain
What is left of the poor? Try to buy a fresh f**king vegetable in West Baltimore. It is a not completely inconceivable scenario in the future, we'll all look like that... Waddling from convenience store to fast food outlet, chewing mindlessly on 99 cent hamburgers.
Anthony Bourdain
I'm not looking to freak people out - eating rodents or bugs. I don't do that anymore.
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
Few things are more beautiful to me than a bunch of thuggish, heavily tattooed line cooks moving around each other like ballerinas on a busy Saturday night. Seeing two guys who'd just as soon cut each other's throats in their off hours moving in unison with grace and ease can be as uplifting as any chemical stimulant or organized religion.
Anthony Bourdain
Without Montreal, Canada would be hopeless.
Anthony Bourdain
I'd never done anything useful as far as my writing.
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
An employer of mine back in the '80s was kind enough to take me on after a rough patch, and it made a big difference in my life that I knew I was the sort of person who showed up on time. It's a basic tell of character.
Anthony Bourdain
I lurched away from the table after a few hours feeling like Elvis in Vegas - fat, drugged, and completely out of it.
Anthony Bourdain
Big stuff and little: learning how to order breakfast in a country where I don't speak the language and haven't been before - that's really satisfying to me. I like that.
Anthony Bourdain
People are generally proud of their food. A willingness to eat and drink with people without fear and prejudice... they open up to you in ways that somebody visiting who is driven by a story may not get.
Anthony Bourdain
Where once they used to say, 'Cocaine is God's way of saying you have too much money' - now, maybe EDM is. Come ye lords and princelings of douchedom.
Anthony Bourdain
I like the fact that Melbourne always seems to support their chefs and promote them in ways I find really admirable.
Anthony Bourdain
Good food does lead to sex. As it should. And in a perfect world, good music does too.
