BEST ANTHONY BOURDAIN QUOTES ABOUT FOOD

“Your body is not a temple, it’s an amusement park. Enjoy the ride.”

“I’ve long believed that good food, good eating, is all about risk. Whether we’re talking about unpasteurized Stilton, raw oysters, or working for organized crime ‘associates,’ food, for me, has always been an adventure.”

“If you’re twenty-two, physically fit, hungry to learn and be better, I urge you to travel – as far and as widely as possible. Sleep on floors if you have to. Find out how other people live and eat and cook. Learn from them – wherever you go.”

“I’m an adventurous eater, so I’ll try anything once. Escargot, haggis, fried crickets – bring it on.”

“Travel changes you. As you move through this life and this world, you change things slightly, you leave marks behind, however small. And in return, life – and travel – leaves marks on you.”

“Good food is very often, even most often, simple food.”

“When you go to a nice restaurant, you wanna be surprised, you wanna be challenged, you wanna be wowed.”

“Don’t be a snob. Never say no when someone offers you something to eat.”

“Skills can be taught. Character you either have or you don’t have.”

“Your body is not a temple, it’s an amusement park. Enjoy the ride.”

“I’m not afraid to look like a big, hairy, smelly, foreign devil in Tokyo, though I do my best not to, I really do.” HEART BODY AND SOUL QUOTES

“You learn a lot about someone when you share a meal together.”

“I don’t have to agree with you to like you or respect you.”

“Context and memory play powerful roles in all the truly great meals in one’s life.”

“Without experimentation, a willingness to ask questions and try new things, we shall surely become static, repetitive, and moribund.”

“There’s something wonderful about drinking in the afternoon. A not-too-cold pint, absolutely alone at the bar – even in this fake-ass Irish pub.”

“In America, the professional kitchen is the last refuge of the misfit.”

“I don’t have to agree with you to like you or respect you.”

“Life is complicated. It’s filled with nuance. It’s unsatisfying… If I believe in anything, it is doubt. The root cause of all life’s problems is looking for a simple fucking answer.”

“Good food and good eating are about risk.”

“Barbecue may not be the path to world peace, but it’s a start.”
