"I travel 250 days a year. There..." - Quote by Anthony Bourdain
I travel 250 days a year. There are chef friends who I only see every couple of years. By conventional standards I'm a bad friend. I'm not there to remember your birthday or to offer you words of support through Twitter. I'm not up on what you're doing in New York because I'm not in New York. I'm not what people call in parenting circles "present."

“I admire people who do things that are interesting to them, who don't have a strategy or a master plan or have a brand - I don't care about any of those things.”
“I, personally, think there is a really danger of taking food too seriously. Food should be part of the bigger picture.”

“Today you may write a chapter on the advantages of traveling, and tomorrow you may write another chapter on the advantages of not traveling.”
“Travelling is good for your health and necessary for your amusement.”
“Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends.”
