More quotes by Anthony Bourdain
The way you make an omelet reveals your character.
Anthony Bourdain
What's the opposite of suck? Un-suck?
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.

For their own good, vegetarians should never be allowed near fine beers and ales. It will only make them loud and belligerent, and they lack the physical strength and aggressive nature to back up any drunken assertions.

Anthony Bourdain
Jiro Ono serves Edo-style traditional sushi, the same 20 or 30 pieces he's been making his whole life, and he's still unsatisfied with the quality and every day wakes up and trains to make the best. And that is as close to a religious experience in food as one is likely to get.
Anthony Bourdain
It's not normal, what I do. Just being on television isn't.
Anthony Bourdain
Being on television, being recognizable, this is unnatural.
Anthony Bourdain
I can't do exercises regularly because my schedule changes from day to day. I'm okay with hurting myself, like I'll lift something until it hurts, but I don't want to pass out or vomit in front of people.
Anthony Bourdain
I'm definitely looking forward to the day when I stop working - if I ever stop working. I like the idea of keeling over in my tomato vines in Sardinia or northern Italy.
Anthony Bourdain
No one understands and appreciates the American Dream of hard work leading to material rewards better than a non-American.
Anthony Bourdain
I make friends faster and easier than journalists.
