Anthony Bourdain on food

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

The journey is part of the experience⁠—an expression of the seriousness of one’s intent. One doesn’t take the A train to Mecca.

Avoid at all costs that vile spew you see rotting in oil in screwtop jars. Too lazy to peel fresh? You don’t deserve to eat garlic.

Part of the secret of success in life is to eat what you like and let the food fight it out inside.

Mark Twain1835–1910

You can tell a lot about a fellow’s character by his way of eating jellybeans.

Ronald Reagan1911–2004

I’m at an age where I think more about food than sex. Last week I put a mirror over my dining room table.
