I'd like to begin with a reading from the book. I spoke to Anthony Bourdain in 2016, when he'd published a cookbook called "Appetites." It focused more on family meals than professional cooking because at the time he was the father of a 9-year-old.ĭAVIES: Well, Anthony Bourdain, welcome to FRESH AIR. A memorable episode found him eating a $6 bowl of noodles with President Barack Obama in Vietnam.īourdain was also a guy who'd tell you what he thinks, which led to some public battles with others in the food world. The show took viewers to places all over the world, exploring local cultures and cuisine and offering his own unique commentary on the experience. He wrote a bestselling book "Kitchen Confidential," then several others.Įventually, he found television, hosting two series on the Travel Channel before launching "Parts Unknown" on CNN. Then he discovered he had a gift for writing and storytelling. Now his life is the subject of a new documentary titled "Roadrunner." It's directed by Oscar-winning filmmaker Morgan Neville, who also made "Won't You Be My Neighbor?" and "20 Feet From Stardom." Before becoming one of the world's best-known food and travel journalists, Bourdain spent decades in the restaurant business, becoming the chef in what he described as a working-class brasserie in New York. Three years ago, the celebrated chef, writer and TV host Anthony Bourdain took his own life in France while there to film an episode of his TV series "Parts Unknown" on CNN.

She didn't react at all, but a little later, while passing through the pasta man's station, casually remarked. One sorry Moroccan cook who pinched her ass found himself suddenly bent over a cutting board with Beth dry-humping him from behind, saying, 'How do you like it, bitch?' The guy almost died of shame - and never repeated that mistake again.Īnother female line cook I had the pleasure of working with arrived at work one morning to find that an Ecuadorian pasta cook had decorated her station with some particularly ugly hard-core pornography of pimply-assed women getting penetrated in every orifice by pot-bellied guys with prison tattoos and back hair. She was as sexually aggressive, and as vocal about it, as her fellow cooks, but unlikely to suffer behavior she found demeaning. She refused to behave any differently than her male co-workers: she'd change in the same locker area, dropping her pants right alongside them. “A long-time associate, Beth, who likes to refer to herself as the 'Grill Bitch', excelled at putting loudmouths and fools into their proper place.
