Food God Anthony Bourdain has a truly dreamy lifestyle, and his Instagram proves it. Documenting his travels and all the delicious food that he eats, cooking with other pro chefs and having a beer with the President. What a life. On his 60th birthday, we can only assume he is sitting down to an amazing meal, probably in some foreign country to celebrate.

In this recent chat with another one of our favourite foodies, Questlove, Bourdain let slip that he (like most of us) uses his Instagram solely to make people feel bad via all the #foodporn he partakes in. And we will enjoy vicariously through his feed of mouth-watering posts until we get too hungry and have to stop ourselves. Here are some of his best.

02. Cheesy goodness

Goodbye for now, land of delicious, delicious cheese.

Everyone likes a cheese platter. In case you didn’t know about Bourdain’s cheese obsession, skip to 45 seconds in the video below for his amusing reaction. Bourdain has never been more relatable as he describes the cheese as “descending as if from heaven itself” and he moans “cheese, oh God”.

Anthony Bourdain having dinner with American chef Andy Ricker in Chiang Mai, Thailand. They’re probably discussing secret recipes and sharing culinary tales. This is one get together we’d love to crash.

04. Laksa... for breakfast

Laska for breakfast in Kuching, Malaysia. I guess when you are a culinary hero you don’t have to follow rules like breakfast food.

05. Japanese plastic food

Oishi!!!

A photo posted by anthonybourdain (@anthonybourdain) on

These hyper-realistic plastic models of Japanese food even look good. You’ve got to love this Japanese menu style where you can see before you order. Look at how realistic that hot dog is!

08. Casual beer with Obama

The President’s chopstick skills are on point . #buncha #hanoi

A photo posted by anthonybourdain (@anthonybourdain) on

That time Obama and Anthony Bourdain went out for pho in Vietnam. The food must have been really good, because no one seems to have noticed the President. We wonder if Obama is more of a beer or wine guy?

09. The episode with Paul Bocuse

How…how did THIS happen? Once in a lifetime!

A photo posted by anthonybourdain (@anthonybourdain) on

When Anthony Bourdain caught up with French master chef, Paul Bocuse, on his show. Bocuse is famous for his experimental cooking and pioneering in modern French food. Ugh.

These are some truly #blessed kids. In a non-creepy way we all wish we were Anthony Bourdain’s offspring. Imagine the packed lunches.
