"  Fierce food writer, culinary adventure traveler, and ever-sarcastic chef Anthony Bourdain is always on the move. Trotting the globe for his popular and irreverent show, No Reservations, Bourdain rarely gets to spend a night in his New York City apartment. But when the opportunity presents itself, he relishes time with his Italian-born wife and daughter, and the family cat. Here&amp;#039;s what he had to say about life on the home front. DELISH: So, what&amp;#039;s your personal decorating style? ANTHONY BOURDAIN: Welcome to baby world.  DELISH: What&amp;#039;s your favorite room in the house?  AB: The living room. It&amp;#039;s become a combination TV room, dining room, and playroom. The floor is covered with brightly colored baby-friendly tiles, a tent full of plastic balls, toys, and more toys.  DELISH: What&amp;#039;s the one thing in this room you couldn&amp;#039;t live without?  AB: The monster flat-screen TV. Whether rewatching The Wire \u2014 or Yo Gabba Gabba with my daughter \u2014 it&amp;#039;s an essential diversion.  DELISH: What is your ideal day at home?  AB: I&amp;#039;m not at home as much as I like since I&amp;#039;m traveling about half the time or sometimes more...so a perfect day? Wake up. Run out for the Times and Post and coffee for me and my wife. A few hours of successfully writing deathless prose at my desk. Followed by a nap. Join wife and daughter in trip to park. Daughter goes (uncharacteristically) quietly and happily to sleep in her crib. My wife and I go out for yakitori and many drinks.  DELISH: But when you are at home and want to cook, what do you prepare?  AB: I pan-sear a steak au poivre. Or make a simple pasta. But mostly, I order out.  DELISH: If you had an unlimited amount of money to spend on one kitchen item, what would it be?  AB: A professional stove. And a kitchen to put it in.  DELISH: What&amp;#039;s the one kitchen item you think every cook should have on hand?  AB: An offset serrated knife. The F Dick model is good. I believe there&amp;#039;s a W\u00FCsthof as well.  DELISH: What are some of your most memorable moments from No Reservations? AB: Introducing my camera and production crew to the lethal charms of the Negroni in Tuscany. One cameraman ended up passing out with his head in the freezer. DELISH: If you were to invite a famous person to your house, who would it be? AB: My home is not guest-ready at the present time \u2014 or likely to be in the near future. I&amp;#039;d like to invite Martin Scorsese out to Del Posto to talk movies. More realistically, maybe a few chef friends might drop by. I have a stash of seriously good tinned Galician cockles, razor clams, tuna, and mussels that I bought at Espinaler in Spain and a bottle of their house vermouth. Only chefs would &amp;quot;get&amp;quot; that meal. DELISH: Who are your favorite people to host at home? AB: Family. They&amp;#039;re the only people who could be expected to put up with the rather spartan conditions, overflow of toys \u2014 and the active 16-month-old looking to cosh them with a Fulla doll. Get a taste of Anthony Bourdain&amp;#039;s famed Steak au Poivre. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
