Anthony Bourdain

Anthony Bourdain makes his first visit to the Ferguson Center for an evening filled with eyebrow raising stories and behind-the-scenes insights. Bourdain has been dubbed "the bad boy of cuisine" for his rock star look and blunt observations about the world of restaurants, chefs and cooking. As a celebrated chef, world traveler, bestselling author and host of two hit TV shows, he has played a major role in shaping the world of food in America. Whether it's ushering in the era of the pork overload or inciting legions of hipsters to wax poetic about street food, Bourdain has transcended the role of chef and launched the culinary arts into a stratosphere all its own.
