Anthony BourdainI won't eat in a restaurant with filthy bathrooms. This isn't a hard call. They let you see the bathrooms.

Anthony BourdainI 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."
