On the menu is a “Homage a Antony Bourdain”: steak frites, french fries, and watercress with a choice of entrecôte or Béarnaise pepper sauce. Fitting tribute, Leerhsen believes, since Bourdain would have been “suspicious of anyone who praised his cooking too extravagantly”.
The Post has contacted Bourdain’s former assistant for comment. In his 2000 memoir “Kitchen Confidential,” Bourdain described that the kitchens he worked in during the 1980s were “drenched in drugs and alcohol and accompanied by constantly loud rock-and-roll music.”
Charles Leerhsen claimed in his book that Anthony Bourdain was never able to stop drinking — and hated himself for it. He admitted that he and his coworkers did everything from marijuana, cocaine and LSD to codeine and heroin.
At the height of his career, Bourdain was traveling 250 days a year, visiting far-off lands, meeting folks, and eating all manner of unusual food. His screen presence was compelling: Bourdain became an unconventional TV star traversing the world in a quest for adventure that, at its core, was as old as the Odyssey.
