When Anthony Bourdain died in June 2018, fans worldwide celebrated the memory of a man who dedicated his life to travel and storytelling through food. His impact has only grown since his passing. For the first time, we gain insight into Bourdain's life through the recollections of those who knew him best. Laurie Woolever, Bourdain's longtime assistant, interviewed nearly a hundred individuals from various aspects of his life, including kitchen crews, writing and television partners, his daughter, and close friends. This effort creates a vivid and nuanced portrait of Bourdain's life and work. From his childhood and teenage years to his early days in New York, the genesis of his groundbreaking memoir "Kitchen Confidential," and his rise as a writing and television personality, we hear from friends and colleagues like Eric Ripert, José Andrés, Nigella Lawson, and W. Kamau Bell, along with family members, including his brother and late mother. The book reveals the many facets of Bourdain—his motivations, vulnerabilities, blind spots, and brilliance. With a treasure trove of photos from his life, this work serves as a definitive testament to the remarkable man through the voices of those who shared his world.
