As a boy growing up in Leonia, New Jersey, Bourdain became aware of his interest in food when he tasted his first oyster. After high school, Bourdain attended Vassar College and worked in local seafood restaurants, which further cultivated his interest in the culinary world. Eventually, Bourdain made the pivotal switch to culinary school and in 1978 graduated from The Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park. For years Bourdain worked his way up through the kitchen ranks, finally earning the title of Executive Chef at Brasserie Les Halles in 1998. In addition to earning his status as a master chef, Bourdain also pursued his passion for writing. In 1995, Bourdain published Bone In Throat, the first in a series of mob murder mystery novels. Gone Bamboo and Bobby Gold soon followed.
A Star Is Born:
Although Bourdain was already an established writer and executive chef, real success came in 2000 with the release of his New York Times best-selling book, Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary World. In 2001 Kitchen Confidential was followed up with a second bestseller, A Cook’s Tour, which lead to the development of a television show by the same name. The premier of A Cooks’s Tour on the Food Network in 2002 was a success.
Travel and cuisine fit Bourdain like a glove and in 2005 the television show for which he is most famous, Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations, premiered on the Travel Channel. No Reservations is still going strong with the recent launch of its eighth season.
Continuing Success:
Bourdain’s career has continued to escalate since the success of No Reservations. He has continued to publish books, including No Reservations: Around the World on an Empty Stomach and the most recent, Medium Raw: A Bloody Valentine to the World of Food and the People Who Cook. Bourdain’s work has earned numerous awards including a Webby Award for his blog chronicling the Top Chef competition and a Creative Arts Emmy for the television show Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations.
In 2007, Bourdain and his wife, Ottavia, became parents to their daughter, Ariane. It doesn’t appear that family life has slowed Bourdain down a bit. He continues to entertain us with his unique mix of grit and class, simplicity and sophistication, street food and four-star fare. You never know what you’re going to get with Bourdain except that it will be real. I can't wait to see what's next.
