“He’s irreverent, honest, curious, never condescending, never obsequious,” the judges said in awarding the honor to the chef who reveled in his bad boy image, often sprinkling in liberal profanity and sexual references on Reservations and making no bones about his taste for drinking and smoking, as well as past drug use. The latter show won a Peabody Award in 2013 for “expanding our palates and horizons in equal measure.” He moved into television in 2002 with the Food Network series A Cook’s Tour, before jumping to the Travel Channel as host of Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations (which ran from 2005-2013 and won two Emmy Awards), then switching to CNN in 2013 for Parts Unknown. The book pulled back the cover on the often intense, cutthroat world of restaurants and set the stage for the next phase of Bourdain’s career, in which he would travel the world sampling and exploring global cuisine while delving into the lives of the local population. A graduate of the Culinary Institute of America, Bourdain got his start as a chef, rising to the rank of executive chef at New York’s acclaimed French Brasserie Les Halles, then expanding into writing with his best-selling 2000 book Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly. Bourdain, who was in France work on an episode of Unknown, was found unresponsive by his friend French chef Eric Ripert.
