Good vs. Evil: An Evening with Anthony Bourdain and Eric Ripert, live at Whitney Hall on Saturday, February 18, 2012. Join Anthony Bourdain, chef, author of Medium Raw, and host of The Travel Channel's No Reservations and Eric Ripert, renowned chef of Le Bernardin, author, host of Avec Eric on PBS, and regular guest on Bravo's Top Chef as they share stories and muse on the place of food in our personal, community and global life. It's an evening of storytelling and observation providing frank and provocative insight into what really goes on behind kitchen doors.
Anthony Bourdain has been dubbed "the bad boy of cuisine" for his rock star look and blunt observations about the world of restaurants, chefs, and cooking. Bourdain, the former executive chef at New York's famed bistro Les Halles, is the author of the bestselling novels Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly, and most recently, Medium Raw: A Bloody Valentine to the World of Food and the People Who Cook. His show on The Travel Channel, No Reservations, has been nominated for an Emmy and is currently filming its seventh season.
Eric Ripert's Le Bernardin continues to receive universal critical acclaim for its food and service, and the Zagat Guide has recognized the restaurant as the "Best Food" in New York City for the last seven consecutive years. Ripert has also served as guest judge (and "fan favorite") on Bravo's Top Chef for the past four seasons. This past fall, Ripert published his fourth book entitled Avec Eric: A Culinary Journey with
Eric Ripert, in addition to his previous titles On the Line and A Return to Cooking and the Le Bernardin Cookbook.
