Not saying Bourdain and Churchill are comparable people - I like Bourdain more at the moment. It’s quite like how Winston Churchill wrote an autobiography for his life up to the 1930s, not knowing he would go onto be known globally for what he did a few years after writing it.
Kitchen Confidential is an autobiographical look at the life of a cook through Bourdain’s 27-year career in the industry. It made sense this is where I would start to dig deeper into this man I started getting obsessed with. What can I say? I changed over the years and my opinion of him changed too.Īfter dozens of hours watching and listening to every Bourdain interview I could find, I learned Kitchen Confidential was what started the career most people know him for, his work creating shows like No Reservation, The Layover, and Parts Unknown (all of which I watched again and learned to love).Īn article he submitted to the New Yorker (I think) led to the book deal that helped him pay all his debts and his taxes at 44 and led him on a world book tour pushing him to continue the world food tour in the subsequent years. His philosophy and values clicked with me. They say it’s the last one before his death. Thanks to the overlords at Google, I came upon Bourdain’s interview with Fast Company. Per Joe Rogan, Bourdain had lost weight and had become an avid practitioner of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu as well. No, he started getting interesting when I learned he used to be in rehab and turned his life around. Not because he died, though it seems to be a human condition to start appreciating what they no longer have. Recently, he started becoming interesting. I deemed it unremarkable after viewing a few episodes. My love for travel inevitably led to his most recent TV show, Parts Unknown. I never understood the appeal of Anthony Bourdain.
