Anthony Bourdain according to Anthony Bourdain It therefore reads as much like a map of the chef’s travelling life and a vital part of his legacy. Using a recorded conversation with Bourdain about what to include, as a starting point, Woolever trawled through his television work on No Reservations, The Layover and Parts Unknown as well as mining her own personal experience as his assistant and friend to piece together a list of places that both inspired Anthony Bourdain, and were somehow influenced by his attention. “He wasn’t always (or, arguably, ever) about cool for cool’s sake or obscurity as its own reward,” she said. Throughout it all Woolever has endeavoured to make the guide as authentic to Bourdain’s personality and experience as possible.
Some cities are given the full Bourdain treatment, with creative framing and a light shone on the inner workings of society, while others are given a perfunctory if slightly obvious treatment. Accordingly, An Irreverent Guide does not read like a prescriptive listing of things to do and see in a particular city.
