Fun Things You Might Not Know About Anthony Bourdain

Anthony Bourdain is the loud, foul-mouthed chef you either love or love-to-hate, but did you know he was a published mystery novelist long before he wrote Kitchen Confidential? Or that writing runs in his blood as his mother was a copy editor at the New York Times? 

Of course, it's not his writing that really made Bourdain what he is -it's his abrassive, aggressive personality and in that way, it's hardly surprising that he once considered it a fireable offense to listen to or even enjoy Billy Joel in his presence.
