No Customer Reviews
University Press returns with another short and captivating biography of one of history's most compelling figures, Anthony Bourdain. Anthony Bourdain was the "original rock star" of the culinary world. As a world-renowned chef, best-selling author, celebrated journalist, travel documentarian, and social activist, he celebrated the joy of food - both for its own sake and for its ability to bring people together. Born in New York City in 1956 to a Catholic father and a Jewish mother, Anthony Michael Bourdain was raised in a stable, nonreligious, music-loving, book-reading family. He joined the Boy Scouts, got rebellious, did drugs, dropped out of college, became a chef, started writing, got married, got divorced, did that again, mastered television, traveled the world, quit drugs, achieved fame, earned a fortune, shared a famous meal with President Barack Obama, advocated for social justice, and tragically succumbed to depression. This short book tells the intensely human story of a man who changed the world in a way that no one else could.
