About this episode
This is a Library Selection from 2006 The Banter The Guys discuss etiquette involving uninvited guests and the lost art of the dinner party. The Conversation The Restaurant Guys have a great time with Anthony Bourdain, chef, author and TV personality discussing food culture, television celebrity and where he finds the most enjoyable dining experiences (Hint: None involve a water sommelier.) He waxes sentimental about the “degenerate subculture” of restaurant employees and wee hour trips to KFC. The Inside Track The Guys are grateful to have had a great conversation with such an influential person in their industry and beyond. Francis: Anthony, thanks for coming on the show. You've been great. Anthony: It was fun. I could do it all day with you guys. -Anthony Bourdain on The Restaurant Guys Podcast 2006 Bio Kitchen Confidential (2000) and The Nasty Bits (2006) are only two of a dozen books Anthony Bourdain has written. He hosted television series A Cook’s Tour, No Reservations, The Layover , The Mind of a Chef and Parts Unknown . He was an outspoken advocate of travel and experiencing all the sights, sounds, smells and tastes of every locale.
