Anthony Bourdain was one of the few true rockstars of the hospitality industry. He reached acclaim not just for his time as the executive chef at Brasserie Les Halles but for his no-holds-barred style of writing and his Emmy award-winning television shows.
On this very special episode of the Happy Mouth podcast, chef Nyesha Arrington and restaurateur Philip Camino look back on Bourdain’s life, his accomplishments, and what he meant to the hospitality industry. Nyesha also speaks about her personal experiences with Bourdain and what he was like behind the scenes.
Listen to Philip and Nyesha discuss Anthony Bourdain:
Anthony Bourdain first got started in the hospitality industry after graduating from The Culinary Institute of America in 1978
Bourdain first reached fame after his article “Don’t eat before you read this” was published in the New Yorker, covering what it was really like as a chef in a restaurant
He then expanded the article into the best-selling book “Kitchen Confidential,” relaying wild stories of drugs, sex, and the real life of the restaurant world
Bourdain also launched several shows, including “A Cook’s Tour” and “No Reservations”
During one episode of “No Reservations,” Bourdain and his crew were trapped in a Beirut hotel while the Israel-Lebanon conflict broke out, which was nominated for an Emmy award
Bourdain was able to highlight cultures and cuisines often ignored by the mainstream during his show “Parts Unknown”, celebrating areas like Libya, Armenia, and Ethiopia
In one episode, President Barack Obama and Anthony Bourdain had a beer together at a local restaurant in Vietnam
The documentary “Roadrunner” takes a look at Bourdain’s life and career
