To begin with, Bourdain made it clear that his distaste for Trump was personal. In the clip, he explained:
Anthony Bourdain: “I just find him personally objectionable. I don’t think he likes food.”
Additionally, he pointed out that people who had dined with Trump often shared similar frustrations. He added:
Anthony Bourdain: “From people I know who have had to endure dinner with him, if you enjoy sitting there listening to him talk about himself, you know, great, God bless you.”
Later, Bourdain emphasized his disbelief at Trump’s eating habits, which became one of the most quoted parts of the video. He remarked:
Anthony Bourdain: “You know the man, he only eats steak well done. If he knows how to use chopsticks, much less able to grasp them with those tiny little nubbins, I’d be shocked.”

Because of this, many fans online quickly picked up on the hilarious precision of his critique. For example, one person commented: “‘I don’t think he likes food’ is such a funny thing to say about someone.”
Moreover, another person joked: “Can’t believe he came back just to say this. We must Stan.”
As the clip continued to spread, different lines resonated with different audiences. Some people especially loved the biting “tiny little nubbins” description, while others focused on the steak comment. In fact, one user wrote: “‘He only eats steak well done…’ excuse me, I’d like to report a murder.”
Ultimately, the resurfaced interview demonstrates that Anthony Bourdain’s voice remains relevant today. Even years after his passing, his words highlight how food—or the lack of appreciation for it—can say a lot about someone’s character. And because of his unique ability to blend humor with sharp social critique, Bourdain’s legacy continues to spark conversations online.
