Why was Anthony Bourdain famous?

Anthony Bourdain was a talented chef and had a passion for traveling. He mixed his two loves together as he starred in and produced globe-trotting food adventure shows.

Bourdain’s big break came with his first TV show, A Cook’s Tour. It aired on the Food Network in the early 2000s. Later shows, such as No Reservations and Parts Unknown, made him a global star. He had a refreshing approach to exploring cultures, people, and cuisines of the world.

Another major reason for his popularity was his unfiltered personality. He had a no-nonsense attitude. He often shared candid opinions and was never afraid to talk about sensitive topics.

He was not only a TV star, but also a famous book author. He wrote six books:

Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly (2000)
A Cook’s Tour: Global Adventures in Extreme Cuisines (2001)
The Nasty Bits (2006)
No Reservations: Around the World on an Empty Stomach (2007)
Medium Raw: A Bloody Valentine to the World of Food and the People Who Cook (2010)
World Travel: An Irreverent Guide (2021)

How wealthy was Anthony Bourdain?

After his passing, his estate was inherited by his daughter Ariane Busia-Bourdain, who was just 11 years old at the time. His estate was valued at $1.2 million.

Which countries did Anthony Bourdain not visit?

As an avid traveler and explorer, Anthony Bourdain visited a lot of countries during his lifetime.

He extensively covered Asia, Europe, the Americas, Africa, and the Middle East during his travels. However, there were a few exceptions.

He once told talk show host Conan O’Brien that he was “scared” to visit Switzerland. Something about the Alpines and the Swiss cheese rubbed him the wrong way.

Security reasons prevented him from traveling to Yemen and Venezuela. He also never got around to visiting several countries, including Poland, Guatemala, Mongolia, Wales, Costa Rica, and Norway, among many others.

Ryan-James O'Driscoll 1 year ago

I couldn't agree more. By all means express your feelings but you don't have to be abusive to be heard. Additionally, it often doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things. As well as treating another human badly over something that is probably trivial, are you not also making yourself miserable? Is it really worth that energy? I find that keeping control of myself during a frustrating situation gives me some measure of control of the outcome and usually means I don't hang onto the event afterwards.

I agree. Depending on your needs, it never hurts to have some sort of plan, but trying to over control to get the perfect holiday will cause everyone stress and guarantee the trip will be anything but perfect. And aiming for that perfect vacation means that any small issue that crops up has the potential to ruin everything.

How true. After being a chef for 20 years I know what he means. Somedays I miss the chaotic dance, the delight of those that I cooked for, the language ( as foul and as loud as it was). But then I wake up and can't hardly move because of my back, have no feeling in my fingertips (due to more cuts than I care to count), and see the scars from the popping grease on my arms and I am grateful I made it out of those kitchens alive and unjaded. It was a wonderful, busy, hard, underapriciated, sexist, dissapointing, fun and enjoyable learning experience that I choose not to return to. However, reading these quotes of his sure makes it tempting to do so. If he was still here I prob would find myself right back in the weeds. He was a great inspiration, for good and bad. The world is a little less flavorful , a little less bright without him in it. It's such a shame. Cutting onions doesn't make me cry, but knowing he is gone does.

I’m a visual editor at Bored Panda. My work is to find or create visuals for articles about home and design. I enjoy making small illustrations and improving my skills in Adobe Illustrator. After work, I try to do something active like running, yoga, cycling, or skateboarding, mostly because it allows me to spend more time outdoors and not sitting behind my desk.
