![“This is the way so many of the great meals of my life have been enjoyed. Sitting in the street, eating something out of a bowl that I’m not exactly sure what it is. And scooters going by. So delicious…
Fellow travelers, this is what you want. This is what you need. This is the path to true happiness and wisdom.”

![“Orwell’s DOWN AND OUT IN PARIS AND LONDON was a big book for me… I remember the effect that reading that book had on me when I was a dishwasher; it was very much a template and an inspiration for KITCHEN CONFIDENTIAL.
You know, this is a book written in the twenties, and the fact that it was so recognizable and I felt such kinship with these characters so long ago . . . People that found themselves were the refuse and the refugees and, you know, people for whom things had gone wrong and they were the second smartest kid in the family… But that connection was something that I kind of yearned for; when I wrote [DON’T EAT BEFORE READING THIS for The New Yorker in 1999], I had hoped for nothing more than to inspire that feeling of ‘I’m not alone’ in a few other cooks in the New York area. That was my goal...
I figured, look, I better keep my day job here, but eventually the restaurant was filling up with journalists. It was like a hard news story. I had no clue that this was coming. I had no expectation that anything would come of this. Even after the book came out . . . I kept working. Who could reasonably expect to make a living writing? It seemed like a delusional notion.”

But, I meet mostly pretty nice people, doing the best they can, often under very, very difficult conditions… [There are] a lot of gray areas in travel. But, I think, that on balance, the world is filled with people doing the best they can… who love their kids and would like to put on a clean shirt every morning and live their lives with a little dignity, have access to food and water… hope… just like everybody else.”

![“I think money is sh*t. You know… how much you spend on a thing… If I spend a couple thousand dollars on sushi for two, I don’t feel guilty about that. I do find that my happiest moments on the road are not standing on the balcony of a really nice hotel. That’s a sort of bittersweet—if not melancholy—alienating experience, at best. My happiest moments on the road are always off-camera, generally with my crew, coming back from shooting a scene and finding ourselves in this sort of absurdly beautiful moment, you know, laying on a flatbed on those things that go on the railroad track, with a putt-putt motor, goin’ across like, the rice paddies in Cambodia with headphones on… this is luxury, because I could never have imagined having the freedom or the ability to find myself in such a place, looking at such things.
To sit alone or with a few friends, half-drunk under a full moon, you just understand how lucky you are; it’s a story you can’t tell. It’s a story you almost by definition, can’t share. I’ve learned in real time to look at those things and realize: I just had a really good moment.”

You understand that time, time to think, time to reflect, time to ponder the big issues, time to write, that’s a privilege. Time spent sitting down for that matter is a privilege in this world, where most of us, most people are trying to scrape out a living.

![“Generally speaking, American cooks—meaning, born in the USA, possibly school-trained, culinarily sophisticated types who know before you show them what monter au beurre means and how to make a béarnaise sauce—are a lazy, undisciplined and, worst of all, high-maintenance lot, annoyingly opinionated, possessed of egos requiring constant stroking and tune-ups, and, as members of a privileged and wealthy population, unused to the kind of ‘disrespect’ a busy chef is inclined to dish out. No one understands and appreciates the American Dream of hard work leading to material rewards better than a non-American. The Ecuadorian, Mexican, Dominican, and Salvadorian cooks I’ve worked with over the years make most CIA-educated white boys look like clumsy, sniveling little punks.”

![Remembering the incredible Marcia Resnick, a true visionary photographer, who passed away at 74 on June 18th in Manhattan. Her raw portraits of New York City’s downtown art scene in the 1970s and 1980s captured a moment in time like no other. She’ll live on forever through her art.
Among her notable works is this portrait of a young Anthony Bourdain from 1981, featured in her book “Punks, Poets & Provocateurs: New York City Bad Boys, 1977–1982” (published in 2015).
Rest in peace, Marcia.

![“I wanted adventures. I wanted to go up the Nung river to the heart of darkness in Cambodia. I wanted to ride out into a desert on camelback, sand and dunes in every direction, eat whole roasted lamb with my fingers. I wanted to kick snow off my boots in a Mafiya nightclub in Russia. I wanted to play with automatic weapons in Phnom Penh, recapture the past in a small oyster village in France, step into a seedy neon-lit pulqueria in rural Mexico. I wanted to run roadblocks in the middle of the night, blowing past angry militia with a handful of hurled Marlboro packs, experience fear, excitement, wonder. I wanted kicks—the kind of melodramatic thrills and chills I’d yearned for since childhood, the kind of adventure I’d found as a little boy in the pages of my Tintin comic books. I wanted to see the world—and I wanted the world to be just like the movies.”

Then you start talking about yourself in the third person. I learned very early on not to think about that. You go out there and do the best you can, and you do things that are interesting to you. Hopefully it will be interesting to other people. I don’t want to be adequate. I’d rather fail gloriously making something strange, awesome but ultimately a failure.”

![The cult classic turns 25. 🔪📖
bloomsburypublishing has released a new 25th Anniversary edition of Anthony Bourdain’s classic bestseller KITCHEN CONFIDENTIAL, with a new introduction by Irvine Welsh (irvine.welsh)!
With unflinching honesty, Anthony Bourdain spills the secrets of his 25-year journey through the culinary world, marked by decadence, excess and a passion for fine food.
From childhood memories of savoring oysters in the Gironde to his early days as a lowly dishwasher in a Provincetown fish joint, and from the heights of the Rainbow Room’s kitchen to New York City’s culinary underbelly, Bourdain’s stories are as unpredictable as they are captivating.
Equal parts mouthwatering and laugh-out-loud hilarious, this collectible, stylish premium paperback is a must-have for any foodie, chef, cook or Anthony Bourdain fan!

Letting the happy accident happen is what a lot of vacation itineraries miss, I think, and I’m always trying to push people to allow those things to happen rather than stick to some rigid itinerary.”

I’m aware of the fact that sometimes if we put this wonderful little neighborhood bar that’s beloved by locals and no one else knows about it, if we put that on TV, that we could change its character forever, or that the owner might be happy for the additional money, but the other customers will be miserable and angry and I’ve basically ruined an important part of their lives.
I think about that a lot, and there have been occasions where we won’t even give the name of the establishment that we put on camera. And there have been times where we deliberately shoot in such a way that you’ll never find it.
I don’t want to hurt people. I don’t want to change the world in a bad way, if I can avoid it.”

But I’m also recalling the extreme sense of satisfaction I used to have after a day of honest, hard work. Those few golden moments after the work is done, and still jacked on adrenaline, you revel in the fact that you made it. Obviously, I miss it sometimes back here in the kitchen. I always knew how to behave, as opposed to in real life, where sometimes I’m on shakier ground. They don’t tell you this in cooking school, but maybe they should: Line cooking professionally, day in and day out, is a young person’s game. No others need apply. As much as I loved it - and I did with all my heart - it’s over for me.”

The more I become aware of, the more I realize how relatively little I know of it, how many places I have still to go, how much more there is to learn. Maybe that’s enlightenment enough—to know that there is no final resting place of the mind, no moment of smug clarity. Perhaps wisdom, at least for me, means realizing how small I am, and unwise, and how far I have yet to go.”

![“Before I set out to travel this world, 12 years ago, I used to believe that the human race as a whole was basically a few steps above wolves.
That given the slightest change in circumstances, we would all, sooner or later, tear each other to shreds. That we were, at root, self-interested, cowardly, envious and potentially dangerous in groups. I have since come to believe – after many meals with many different people in many, many different places – that though there is no shortage of people who would do us harm, we are essentially good.
That the world is, in fact, filled with mostly good and decent people who are simply doing the best they can. Everybody, it turns out, is proud of their food (when they have it). They enjoy sharing it with others (if they can). They love their children. They like a good joke. Sitting at the table has allowed me a privileged perspective and access that others, looking principally for “the story,” do not, I believe, always get...
I am not a journalist. I am not a foreign correspondent. I am, at best, an essayist and enthusiast. An amateur. I hope to show you what people are like at the table, at home, in their businesses, at play. And when and if, later, you read about or see the places I’ve been on the news, you’ll have a better idea of who, exactly, lives there…
People, wherever they live, are not statistics. They are not abstractions. Bad things happen to good people all the time. When they do, hopefully, you’ll have a better idea who, and what, on a human scale, is involved.
I’m not saying that sitting down with people and sharing a plate is the answer to world peace. Not by a long shot. But it can’t hurt.“

It’s afforded me a lot of freedom and privilege and I no longer owe my landlord six months’ rent. I’m not hiding from American Express. If it means that the next time I’m running for a piss in an airport and somebody stops me and wants a selfie, I think that’s a relatively small inconvenience for not having to worry about them shutting off my electricity.“

![“So, there I was, age 44. I was still dunking french fries at Brasserie Les Halles, which I thought was a pretty good gig at the time.
But, there was this little free paper they gave out on corners in a little box called The New York Press. I thought, I’m going to write something that will entertain other cooks, maybe I’ll get a hundred bucks, and my fry cook will find this funny. So, I wrote that first piece, that first version of [Kitchen Confidential] with the intention of being published by the New York Press and making 100 bucks, and being a hero to a few fry cooks in New York.
I wrote it and I sent it to The New York Press… So, every week I’d run to the corner. ‘Oh, I’m gonna be in the free paper!’ and I wasn’t in there. And, in a moment of frustration and possible inebriation, I mentioned this to my mom who said, ‘Well, you should send it to The New Yorker. I know somebody there. They’ll read it.’ And I’m thinking, what is the statistical likelihood ever, even if you’re represented? There’s no chance. Ever.
Out of alcohol-fueled hubris and on the insistence of my mom, I stuffed a copy, a print of this thing I’d written into an envelope and sent it off to The New Yorker, and thought that’s the last I will ever hear of this. Then, a month and a half later, the kitchen phone rings, and it’s David Remnick, the publisher from The New Yorker saying we’d like to run this piece.
And when it ran, it transformed my life within two days... Everything changed. Everything. From that point on.”
