OF A GOLDEN AGE

This post is dedicated to my best ladyfriend, who’s been reading No Reservations.

Upon being asked by Time if he is “really that arrogant,” or if it’s just for television, Anthony Bourdain answered:

“I think like a lot of chefs, I’m actually often really shy and withdrawn and uncomfortable with the real world and I think that’s why a lot of chefs, people like me, similar personality types, end up in the restaurant business in the first place. Yes I am arrogant, but I also regularly entertain the possibility, if not the likelihood, that I am absolutely wrong about everything.”

Bourdain was featured in the book My Last Supper. Time offers this illustrative slideshow with excerpts and examples from the book, but the slideshow leaves out the, um, somewhat racy pièce de résistance: Anthony Bourdain, scandalously fringing on NSFW.
