It’s rare in life that you come across someone who so universally inspires people. Someone whose highs and lows become your own…someone who embodies both what you are and what you want to be…

I was 22 years old when I got my first copy of “Kitchen Confidential.”

I cracked the spine and voila…the back breaking drudgery that I suffered on a daily basis to support myself…became an actual art…mind numbing hours of meeting mire poix and chopping shallots became cool and the word “Chef” was transformed from servant to “Rockstar”. I can honestly say that I would not be here today doing this if it wasn’t for this man. His words gave me meaning to my daily existence and he will never know that. I am not alone in this kitchen feeling this way and I know that I am not alone in kitchens across the globe feeling this way. Anthony Bourdain had a tremendous impact on a generation of culinarians, chefs captaining their pirate ships into service daily…

God speed to your next service chef.
