Details: Anthony Bourdain will bring his Guts & Glory tour to Jacksonville next Thursday!  The internationally renowned chef, author, and television host will spend the evening sharing candid, often hysterical, insights about his life’s work and travels, including an open question and answer session with the audience.

Bourdain, “chef-at-large” at New York’s famed Brasserie Les Halles, is the author of bestselling titles Kitchen Confidential and Medium Raw – both hilariously blunt and sometimes shocking portraits of life in restaurant kitchens.  He’s also known for the travel journal, A Cook’s Tour, three crime novels, a cookbook, a biography of Typhoid Mary, the bestselling graphic novel Get JIRO!, and others.

A contributing authority for Food Arts magazine, Bourdain’s work has also appeared in The New Yorker, The New York Times, The Times of London, Bon Appetit, Gourmet, and many other publications.  He has been profiled by CBS Sunday Morning and Nightline, and has been a guest on The Late Show with David Letterman, Morning Joe, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, The Daily Show, Charlie Rose, The Colbert Report, and Real Time with Bill Maher.

In addition to hosting Travel Channel’s Emmy Award-winning No Reservations and The Layover, Bourdain serves as host for The Taste, a cooking competition series for ABC, and Parts Unknown, a travel docu-series for CNN.
