Bourdain Day falls on June 25, the birthday of chef, author, and TV host Anthony Bourdain, whose books and shows touched millions of people before his death in 2018. His friends, superstar chefs José Andrés and Eric Ripert, established the day as a way to celebrate Tony’s life rather than dwell on his loss, and they invite everyone to raise a glass and share the moment with #bourdainday.
Bourdain spent his career traveling the globe and showing us how food connects people everywhere, regardless of politics, religion, or race. And while he loved cuisines from every corner of the earth, his soul was in France.
So to honor him, we offer a simple French barbecue menu: grilled pissaladière, the French take on pizza, melt-in-your-mouth duck confit, crunchy green beans, and warm French potato salad. Gather friends and family, pour some Burgundy, and toast the extraordinary life of Anthony Bourdain.
