People's choice to become vegan, from people I've spoken to, seems motivated by fear. Anthony Bourdain choicefearhave Change image and share on social
I would like to see people more aware of where their food comes from. I would like to see small farmers empowered. I feed my daughter almost exclusively organic food. Anthony Bourdain awaredaughterempower Change image and share on social
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. Anthony Bourdain beautifulchoosedate share on social
I'm very type-A, and many things in my life are about control and domination, but eating should be a submissive experience, where you let down your guard and enjoy the ride. Anthony Bourdain controldominationeat Change image and share on social
I did go into the Amazonian region of Brazil. They have prehistoric river fish that weigh in at around 600 pounds, which you don't see anywhere else. And foods that cannot be exported or even found in other parts of Brazil. Anthony Bourdain amazonianbrazilexport share on social
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 80sbackbasic share on social
I'm a decent cook; I'm a decent chef. None of my friends would ever have hired me at any point in my career. Period. Anthony Bourdain careerchefcook Change image and share on social

I've sat in sushi bars, really fine ones, and I know how hard this guy worked, how proud he is. I know you don't need sauce. I know he doesn't even want you to pour sauce. And I've seen customers come in and do that, and I've seen him, as stoic as he tries to remain, I've seen him die a little inside. Anthony Bourdain barcustomerdie share on social
I don't have much patience for people who are self-conscious about the act of eating, and it irritates me when someone denies themselves the pleasure of a bloody hunk of steak or a pungent French cheese because of some outdated nonsense about what's appropriate or attractive.
