Anthony Bourdain

Chef and author of Kitchen Confidential Anthony Bourdain is best known for traveling the globe on his stomach, daringly consuming some of the worlds most exotic dishes on his hit Travel Channel TV show, Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations. Once known as the bad boy of cooking, Bourdain is settling into an only slightly more dignified position as a professional gadfly, bete noir, advocate, social critic and pork enthusiast. He is as unsparing of those things he hates, as he is evangelical about his passions.

As executive chef at New Yorks famed bistro Les Halles, Bourdain 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. His book, A Cooks Tour, published in conjunction with his series on the Food Network, was also a bestseller in the U.S. and the U.K.

His other books are Anthony Bourdains Les Halles Cookbook, The Nasty Bits and No Reservations: Around the World on an Empty Stomach, an illustrated journal of Bourdains travels. His crime novels include The Bobby Gold Stories and Bone in the Throat. He is currently working on three new books including a follow-up to Kitchen Confidential, a crime novel, No New Messages, and a memoir about moving his family to a small village in Vietman.

A contributing authority for Food Arts magazine, his work has appeared in The New Yorker, The New York Times and Gourmet. He has shared his insights about team building and crisis management with the Harvard Business Review. He has also been profiled by CBS Sunday Morning and Nightline and appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman.
