Bourdain coming to Proctors
Thursday, June 25, 2009

Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. on July 11 for Proctors’ “No Reservations: An Evening with Anthony Bourdain,” featuring the bad boy chef-author who stars on the Travel Channel’s “No Reservations.”

The show is scheduled for 7 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 15, according to Proctors’ Web site.

Bourdain’s show is probably the only food program that contains a “mature audience” warning at the beginning of each segment.

Here’s part of Proctors’ comment about the show:

Bourdain, the executive chef at New York’s famed bistro Les Halles, is the author of the bestselling “Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly,” a candid, hysterical, and sometimes shocking portrait of life in restaurant kitchens that has been translated into over 28 languages. His book, “A Cook’s Tour,” published in conjunction with his series on the Food Network, was also a bestseller in the U.S. and the U.K.

His other books are “Anthony Bourdain’s Les Halles Cookbook,” “The Nasty Bits” and “No Reservations: Around the World on an Empty Stomach,” an illustrated journal of Bourdain’s travels. His crime novels include The Bobby Gold Stories and “Bone in the Throat.”

A contributing authority for Food Arts magazine, his work has appeared in The New Yorker, The New York Times and Gourmet. He has shared his insights about team building and crisis management with the Harvard Business Review.

“No Reservations,” nominated for an Emmy and widely popular all over the world, is currently in its fifth season. Bourdain continues to travel to the farthest reaches of the globe exploring destinations from rural Laos to a struggling New Orleans.

Tickets will be $49.50, $39.50 and $20. A limited number of VIP seats will be available and will include a post-show meet-and-greet and book signing with Bourdain. They are priced at $75.
