Anthony Bourdain Quotes

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 Picture Quote #1

When I was writing 'Kitchen Confidential,' I was in my 40s, I had never paid rent on time, I was 10 years behind on my taxes, I had never owned my own furniture or a car Picture Quote #1

You have an impeccable argument if you said that Singapore, Hong Kong, and Tokyo are food capitals. They have a maximum amount of great stuff to eat in the smallest areas Picture Quote #1

Always entertain the possibility that something, no matter how squiggly and scary looking, might just be good Picture Quote #1

When dealing with complex transportation issues, the best thing to do is pull up with a cold beer and let somebody else figure it out Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Unlicensed hooch from a stranger in a parking lot. Good idea? Yes, of course it is Picture Quote #1

I am a delightfully evangelical guy about things I love. I am that annoying guy who sits everyone down and forces them to read some book I like. I’m looking across the full spectrum of genres Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

In that sense, what a great way to live, if you could always do things that interest you, and do them with people who interest you Picture Quote #1

Turning your nose up at a genuine and sincere gesture of hospitality is no way to travel or to make friends around the world Picture Quote #1

Just because I like sushi, doesn’t mean I can make sushi. I’ve come to well understand how many years just to get sushi rice correct. It’s a discipline that takes years and years and years. So, I leave that to the experts Picture Quote #1

When I cook, I generally stick with what I know, what I’m comfortable with, and what I feel I’ve paid my dues learning, and am good at Picture Quote #1

People everywhere have been very, very good to me, whether I’m with or without cameras Picture Quote #1

In my house, neither my wife nor my daughter are impressed that I’m on television, and they remind me of that frequently Picture Quote #1

I’m excited by any food that’s prepared by someone who’s proud of what they’re doing, who puts a personal imprint on food Picture Quote #1

The roots of creativity of cooking are hungry people trying to figure out how to take something that’s not particularly fresh or tender and transform it into it something delicious that everyone will love Picture Quote #1

I, personally, think there is a really danger of taking food too seriously. Food should be part of the bigger picture Picture Quote #1

You have to love a town where you can both smoke and gamble in a pharmacy Picture Quote #1

I’m not impressed by any cooks who can brag about a filet mignon. A guy who can take the neck of a shank or can use tripe to make into something delicious is really interesting to me; that’s impressive Picture Quote #1

Meals make the society, hold the fabric together in lots of ways that were charming and interesting and intoxicating to me. The perfect meal, or the best meals, occur in a context that frequently has very little to do with the food itself Picture Quote #1

A proper saute pan should cause serious head injury if brought down hard against someone else’s skull. If you have any doubts about which will dent, the victim’s head or your pan, then throw that pan right in the trash Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

For a dinner date, I eat light all day to save room, then I go all in: I choose this meal and this order, and I choose you, the person across from me, to share it with. There’s a beautiful intimacy in a meal like that Picture Quote #1

I do not have a merchandise line. I don’t sell knives or apparel. Though I have been approached to endorse various products from liquor to airlines to automobiles to pharmaceuticals dozens of times, I have managed to resist the temptation Picture Quote #1

I try to very hard to avoid a situation where I would be eating cat or dog; I’ve managed to gracefully avoid that. It’s hypocritical of me and an arbitrary line, but one that I have managed to avoid crossing Picture Quote #1

I was a journeyman chef of middling abilities. Whatever authority I have as a commenter on this world comes from the sheer weight of 28 years in the business. I kicked around for 28 years and came out the other end alive and able to form a sentence Picture Quote #1

There are people with otherwise chaotic and disorganized lives, a certain type of person that’s always found a home in the restaurant business in much the same way that a lot of people find a home in the military Picture Quote #1

If I’m an advocate for anything, it’s to move. As far as you can, as much as you can. Across the ocean, or simply across the river. The extent to which you can walk in someone else’s shoes or at least eat their food, it’s a plus for everybody. Open your mind, get up off the couch, move Picture Quote #1

Travel isn’t always pretty. It isn’t always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts, it even breaks your heart. But that’s okay. The journey changes you; it should change you. It leaves marks on your memory, on your consciousness, on your heart, and on your body. You take something with you. Hopefully, you leave something good behind Picture Quote #1
