Histoire
In the nearly two years since Anthony Bourdain's death, no one else has come close to filling the void he left. His passion for and genuine curiosity about the people and cultures he visited made the world feel smaller and more connected. Despite his affable, confident, and trademark snarky TV persona, the real Tony was intensely private, deeply conflicted about his fame, and an enigma even to those close to him. Tony’s devoted crew knew him best, and no one else had a front-row seat for as long as his director and producer, Tom Vitale.

Leerhsen shows how Bourdain’s never-before-reported childhood traumas fueled both his creativity and the insecurities that would lead him to a place of despair.

In an industry where celebrity chefs are known as much for their salty talk and quick tempers as their food, Eric Ripert stands out. The winner of four James Beard Awards, co-owner and chef of a world-renowned restaurant, and recipient of countless Michelin stars, Ripert embodies elegance and culinary perfection. But before the accolades, before he even knew how to make a proper hollandaise sauce, Eric Ripert was a lonely young boy in the south of France whose life was falling apart.

Here was a versatile culinary bible, through which a generation discovered how to feel at home in the kitchen and found the confidence to experiment and adapt recipes to their own needs.

From the glamorous to the entitled, from royalty to the financially ruined, everyone who wanted to be seen—or just to gawk—at the hottest restaurants in New York City came to places Michael Cecchi-Azzolina helped run. His phone number was passed around among those who wanted to curry favor, during the decades when restaurants replaced clubs and theater as, well, theater in the most visible, vibrant city in the world. In Your Table Is Ready, he breaks down how restaurants really run (and don’t), and how the economics work for owners and overworked staff alike.

Histoire
Anthony Bourdain was an American celebrity chef, author, travel documentarian, and television personality who starred in programs focusing on the exploration of international culture, cuisine, and the human condition. He was considered one of the most influential chefs in the world.
Auteur(s): Andrew Stephens
Description
An unprecedented behind-the-scenes view into the life of Anthony Bourdain from the people who knew him best.
When Anthony Bourdain died in June 2018, fans around the globe came together to celebrate the life of an inimitable man who had dedicated his life to traveling nearly everywhere (and eating nearly everything), shedding light on the lives and stories of others. His impact was outsized and his legacy has only grown since his death.
Now, for the first time, we have been granted a look into Bourdain’s life through the stories and recollections of his closest friends and colleagues. Laurie Woolever, Bourdain’s longtime assistant and confidante, interviewed nearly a hundred of the people who shared Tony’s orbit - from members of his kitchen crews to his writing, publishing, and television partners, to his daughter and his closest friends - in order to piece together a remarkably full, vivid, and nuanced vision of Tony’s life and work.
From his childhood and teenage days, to his early years in New York, through the genesis of his game-changing memoir Kitchen Confidential to his emergence as a writing and television personality, and in the words of friends and colleagues including Eric Ripert, José Andrés, Nigella Lawson, and W. Kamau Bell, as well as family members including his brother and his late mother, we see the many sides of Tony - his motivations, his ambivalence, his vulnerability, his blind spots, and his brilliance.
Unparalleled in scope and deeply intimate in its execution, with a treasure trove of photos from Tony's life, Bourdain: The Definitive Oral Biography is a testament to the life of a remarkable man in the words of the people who shared his world.

93 Eulogies
This audio book was narrated by 93 people, each with their own tempo (fast and slow). At times, I was lost in 'whose who' of who is speaking.
Overall, it came off as an eulogy. Some funny bits, some sad bits, and fingerpointing nearer the conclusion.
I will re-listen to some of Bourdain's own books to recapture the stories he was telling, in his own voice.

An amazing journey of honest humility! Bourdain is still untouchable!
The perspectives and voices of people who knew him made the story compelling. It would have been better if they could have reflected on his true character, but not sure if this would have been achievable as it’s clear he let no one into his true self. He is an inspiration and a picture of a generation battling mental health.

Perfect. Get this book.
I chose to listen to this one on audiobook and I highly recommend that path as the loved ones from Anthony's life all come together to share more of his life and his story and shed light on who he was and where he was in life before his untimely death.
As a longtime fan of Bourdain, I loved this additional insight into his life. I found him to be a truly unique and fascinating man who refused to play by any rules - which was inspiring in so many ways. This book just reiterates what I thought I knew - he was human, far from perfect and just living his life his way. And it continues to inspire me.
This will be one that I revisit again. A must.

Touching tribute
I got this book at Christmas and it’s heart felt meandering through other peoples eyes. When his family talked about him you could tell he was even deeper than his tv persona. I find myself wondering why this book came to me as it did, but I started reading and could not stop. I connect with various descriptions of addictive personalities that seemed to have haunted Anthony, he will always remain a sad loss in my voyeuristic style to life, watching others experience it. To all who worked on this, I hope it helps with grief. Lists of things to think about, time to mull.

After listening to the bio of AB…
The audio book is so-so. Mediocre. Something its subject never was. Stranger still, after listening to this bio of AB, I feel like I know even less about him, his feelings and his suicide. Many key players either not interviewed or not in-depth. Overall it’s a disappointing experience, answering few questions and skimming the surface of a deep.talented and troubled individual who will continue to be misunderstood.

Not An Easy Listen, But Very Honest
I am among those who felt devastated when Anthony Bourdain died, and so I picked this up- I still miss the Bourdain world, the reality where he is teaching us new insights, and listening to his family’s and colleagues’ stories resurrects him, even if just in their stories.
Anyone who decides to give this a go should understand that it is a mixed bag. Not everyone who participated in the written biography is reading it in their voice, so if you wanted to hear Eric Ripert speak in his own voice, you won’t. And, some interviews seem too brief and kind of shallow. But, these are minor considerations.
If there’s anything that listening to this brings, it’s the experience of seeing someone you you love do infuriating things and create their unhappiness, and if you are open to hearing about the very real flaws Bourdain had behind his effortless persona, I suggest this. It isn’t easy to learn how he had a hand in making his own chaos (as well as the chapters approach the end of his life), but it is a poignant experience nonetheless, and as honest a portrait can get.

Heartbreaking and honest.
This was a tough listen, but necessary for me in my own processing of Tony's suicide. I only met the man once, but he was kind to me and made time for me that he didn't need to do. Even that one tiny encounter gave me so much more esteem for him than I'd previously had. I miss his voice. Hearing about him through his friends and colleagues was difficult and perfect. Thank you to everyone who participated, to Laurie for taking on the task, and to whomever his assistant was that day in late 2005 who told a pink-haired girl at the bar in Les Halles, "He'll be going out for a smoke in a few minutes. You should go join him." I am grateful to you all.

Beautiful, reflective and heartbreaking
I’ve never written a review before but this book left me so deeply reflective. I purchased this to know more about an author and personality I loved. I related to so much of his struggle as an addict myself. The story painfully resonated. It hits hard and in a sense is a reminder to slow down and ask for help. While it may have no been then authors intent I hope that those struggling with addiction or mental illness find inspiration in this book to ask for help. To know they are not alone. They are loved. Break free from the dark side and find the light that is within. You are enough. You are loved. You are worthy of love. You don’t have to “do” to be loved. Thank you to the author and those who shared their story.

A strange format for a good story
If you’re someone who considers themself a fan with deep feelings and decent understanding of the backstory, some parts of this will be jarring. While awesome to hear some of the early stories and to hear the words of part of the cast who knew him best, the actual formatting of the production causes problems. I understand and grant that some people simply might not have had the time to go and record their lines. I respect that many want to keep some of their privacy intact by not speaking the words themselves. But it was weird to have surrogates for several well-known voices like David Chang, Bill Buford and Eric Ripert. I know that many of the people from Bourdain’s early life could be dead, feel betrayed or embittered or were simply not findable to share stories from the crucial and formative experiences of his junkie years. Those stories and how they shaped Tony and his worldview would have helped us further understand how things went so wrong in such a seemingly rapid way. More words from those who knew him in his “wilderness years” as he referred to them wouldn’t have gone amiss. Overall it was a good listen with lovely insights and anecdotes, but the format did leave something to be desired.

I knew it …
I didn’t know what pushed him to the brink but it’s insightful to listen to all his friends and co-workers confirm your suspicions. I loved him like everyone else and it’s awful how self destructive he became … RIP Tony

Very enjoyable
I really never watched Mr. Bourdain on TV until after his death. I, wrongly assumed, he was just another chef with another cooking show. But due to Covid and more free time, I binged both of his shows and loved them so much.
I will say both of his own books are more enjoyable, just because it is Mr. Bourdain doing the readings - but this is a very interesting and enjoyable book, I highly recommend to his fans and future fans.
