Anthony Bourdain

I am currently getting ready to watch the TV Show Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations. In doing so I was reading Anthony's bio on wiki and discovered a couple of good quotes I thought I would share.


"Known for consuming exotic ethnic dishes, Bourdain is famous for eating sheep testicles in Morocco, ant eggs in Puebla, Mexico, a raw seal eyeball as part of a traditional Inuit seal hunt, and a whole cobra — beating heart, blood, bile, and meat — in Vietnam. According to Bourdain, the most disgusting thing he has ever eaten is a Chicken McNugget"


"He has been known for being an unrepentant drinker and smoker. In a nod to Bourdain's (at the time) two-pack-a-day cigarette habit, renowned chef Thomas Keller once served him a 20-course tasting menu which included a mid-meal "coffee and cigarette": a coffee custard infused with tobacco, together with a foie gras mousse."

"Bourdain says he considers vegetarianism, except in the case of religious strictures as in India, a "First World luxury""
