Anthony Bourdain
Anthony Bourdain has said that he wants to “try everything once”. He’s eaten a still-beating cobra heart in Vietnam, potentially deadly fugu blowfish in Tokyo, iguana and toasted grasshoppers in Mexico. And if those aren’t dangerous enough, in Cambodia he visited a casino run by the Khmer Rouge. He’s spent two decades cooking in New York’s finest restaurants, is currently the executive chef at Brasserie Les Halles, and the author of the bestsellers Kitchen Confidential and A Cook’s Tour, which inspired a series on TV’s Food Channel. Let’s find out what the man who’s tried just about everything would pack in his survival kit.
His List:
1. One crate of cigarettes
2. One case of yellow legal pads
3. Record: Elvis Costello “Get Happy”
4. Record: The Clash “London Calling”
5. Videotape: Get Carter, the original
6. Book: The Friends of Eddie Coyle by George V. Higgins
7. Book: Pale Fire by Nabokov
8. Book: Lipstick Traces by Greil Marcuu
