Anthony Bourdain February 13, 2011

Anthony Bourdain will spend the evening sharing candid, and often hysterical, insights about his life's work and travels including an open question and answer session with the audience. Bourdain has been dubbed "the bad boy of cuisine" for his rock star look and blunt observations about the world of restaurants, chefs and cooking. Bourdain, the executive chef at New York's famed bistro Les Halles, is the author of the bestselling 'Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly,' a candid, hysterical, and sometimes shocking portrait of life in restaurant kitchens that has been translated into over 28 languages. A contributing authority for Food Arts Magazine, his work has appeared in The New Yorker, The New York Times and Gourmet. 'No Reservations,' nominated for an Emmy and widely popular all over the world, is currently in its sixth season. Copies of Bourdain's new book, 'Medium Raw: A Bloody Valentine to the World of Food and the People Who Cook,' along with other titles from his back catalog, will be available for purchase on site.
