I'm not looking to freak people out - eating rodents or bugs. I don't do that anymore.
From Anthony Bourdain
I could do one show after another in China for the rest of my life and still die ignorant. There's a lot of places left to go.
I like telling stories, and I tell stories that interest me. It would be boring to have to go to nothing but the best restaurants. That would be a misery to me.
I'm always secretly the most pleased when a show just really, really looks good and when my camera guys are really happy with the images they got.
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.
If somebody crafts an interesting tweet that'll lead me to their blog, I'm going to their blog.
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.
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.
It would be an egregious mistake to ever refer to me in the same breath as most of the people I write about.
My mom had Julia Child and 'The Fannie Farmer Cookbook' on top of the refrigerator, and she had a small repertoire of French dishes.
