Anthony Bourdain
Judy Hogrelius Hardardt, a friend since childhood, former editor-in-chief of our high school newspaper and yearbook and a woman of many professional and personal accomplishments, sent these quotes while enjoying a lengthy cruise. Can you understand why being on a cruise might have caused her to think about food, especially the words of famed traveler Anthony Bourdain? Editor
“You learn a lot about someone when you share a meal together.”
“Barbecue may not be the road to world peace, but it’s a start.”
“I, personally, think there is a real danger of taking food too seriously. Food should be part of the bigger picture.”
“I think food, culture, people and landscape are all absolutely inseparable.”
“I’ve long believed that good food, good eating, is all about risk. Whether we’re talking about unpasteurized Stilton, raw oysters or working for organized crime ‘associates,’ food, for me, has always been an adventure”
“Good food is very often, even most often, simple food.”
“Food is everything we are. It’s an extension of nationalist feeling, ethnic feeling, your personal history, your province, your region, your tribe, your grandma. It’s inseparable from those from the get-go.”
“Meals make the society, hold the fabric together in lots of ways that were charming and interesting and intoxicating to me. The perfect meal, or the best meals, occur in a context that frequently has very little to do with the food itself.”
“Your body is not a temple, it’s an amusement park. Enjoy the ride.”
