I was one of the lucky media folks last week to interview Anthony Bourdain of Kitchen Confidential and A Cook’s Tour fame when he did a whirlwind tour of Vancouver to promote his new Les Halles Cookbook.
I spoke with him just after a successful CBC Radio One bookclub appearance at Vancouver Community College, and just before he had to sign hundreds of cookbooks and meet legions of fans at two events at the Opus Hotel’s Elixir Lounge and Bar None.
I’m pleased to report he was great to meet in person, very humble about his writing and his television work, and quite frank with all of the answers to the questions I put to him. You’ll hear part of the interview on my Food For Thought program this week, but you’ll also be able to hear the entire 15 minute interview when my new internet radio show, All You Can Eat, debuts soon. More about that later!
