  Anthony Bourdain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Anthony Michael Bourdain (born June 25, 1956 in New York City) is an American author and executive chef of Brasserie Les Halles in New York City.
Bourdain has written other books including Gone Bamboo, Bone in the Throat, Typhoid Mary (An Urban Historical), Anthony Bourdain's Les Halles Cookbook, and A Cook's Tour which was made in conjunction with a TV series of the same name on the Food Network.

More likely, writes Anthony Bourdain, that elegant three-star concoction is the collaborative effort of a team of "wacked-out moral degenerates, dope fiends, refugees, a thuggish assortment of drunks, sneak thieves, sluts and psychopaths," in all likelihood pierced or tattooed and incapable of uttering a sentence without an expletive or a foreign phrase.
