Bourdain was a chef in various Manhattan restaurants throughout the 80s and 90s. He gained popularity through his “essay collection about the ugly secrets of restaurants that put him on the map. Following their publication in The New Yorker, Bourdain became an instant star on the media food scene due to his point-blank, tell-it-like-it-is tone that audiences were not accustomed to,” according to Deadline. It has not yet been announced what part of Bourdain’s life the project will focus on.
