Famous Chef Bourdain chowed down with Obama, but won't dine with The Donald

The celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain famously broke bread with President Obama in Vietnam on his CNN show last year, but he's unlikely to dine with The Donald.

“I can’t see the point, he only talks about himself and he’s only interested in himself,” Bourdain told us at a Turner Networks meet-and-greet at Madison Square Garden.

“I can't see that as being scintillating dinner conversation. Plus he eats his steak well done. I think that really settles it.”

In June, Bourdain told Daily News food writer Jeanette Settembre that he'd want to grab lunch with then-candidate Trump, but for nefarious reasons.

"I'd like to see him struggle with chopsticks and eat a well done f---ing steak," he said at the time.

While President Trump may be a hearty eater, it'd be a stretch to call Number 45 a gourmand. He’s frequently spotted feasting on fast food and famously tweeted a Cinco de Mayo photo with an unlikely caption declaring “The best taco bowls are made in Trump Tower Grill.”

Bourdain says that he personally has been cooking up Italian food lately.

“I’ve been cooking a lot of pasta lately,” he said. “Straight up Pomodoro sauce. Plain ripe tomatoes. It’s a 20 minute sauce. It’s very simple. I don't over-complicate it.”

The New York City-born, Leonia, N.J.-bred chef says his next adventure will lead him to deep, deep southern cuisine.

“Coming up very soon is a show in Antarctica that's incredible,” he said. “We were given amazing, once-in-a-lifetime access, South Pole. An incredible subculture of dedicated staff, moved down there in support of science. The Oman show is (also) going to be pretty mind blowing for a lot of people.”

Granted, Bourdain doesn't feel that the times in which we live place a premium on science or travel.

“It’s a liability now to be able to construct a sentence,” the 60-year-old adventurer lamented. “Science is becoming a bad word. These are strange and terrible times we live in.”
