Anthony Bourdain Tells Questlove He Makes James Brown Look ‘Lazy’

Talk about a power pairing! Food and travel connoisseur Anthony Bourdain sat down with Questlove over chicken and waffles at Miami hotspot Yardbird for a piece on Bourdain’s Parts Unknown. The two talk about what they know best: food, and music.

“Every time I check in on Instagram you’re eating with one of my culinary heroes,” gushes Bourdain. “You’ve eaten with Jiro…he seems to like you a lot better than me!”

And then came the highest of accolades: “The old joke was that James Brown was the hardest working man in show business. You make him look lazy!”

“If we’re counting technically I have 16 jobs right now,” Questlove responds.

Then the conversation switched to Questlove’s primary forte. “I consider the sound of Miami to be the beginning of really great dance music.”

Watch the clip here. The full Parts Unknown episode premieres next Sunday on CNN.
