“Our movements through time and space seem somehow trivial compared to a heap of boiled meat in broth, the smell of saffron, garlic, fishbones and Pernod.”
― Anthony Bourdain, Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly

“Food is everything we are. It's an extension of nationalist feeling, ethnic feeling, your personal history, your province, your region, your tribe, your grandma. It's inseparable from those from the get-go.”
― Anthony Bourdain

“Cooking is a craft, I like to think, and a good cook is a craftsman — not an artist. There's nothing wrong with that: the great cathedrals of Europe were built by craftsmen — though not designed by them. Practicing your craft in expert fashion is noble, honorable and satisfying.”
― Anthony Bourdain, Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly

“Good food and good eating are about risk.”
― Anthony Bourdain, Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly
