JUNE Bold Fork Book Club: A COOK'S TOUR by Anthony Bourdain

No one changed the perception of food culture in this country more than Anthony Bourdain. On what would have been his 68th birthday, we'll gather together to do a deep reading of A COOK'S TOUR with a 2024 lens. What has changed in the way we encounter and document our relationship to food and culinary travel-- and what hasn't.

We invite you to cook something inspired by the book-- or any of Anthony's work-- and bring it to share. It's never required-- but always embraced.

ABOUT A COOK'S TOUR

From the star of No Reservations, Anthony Bourdain's New York Times-bestselling chronicle of travelling the world in search the globe's greatest cuilnary adventures

"Bourdain shows himself to be one of the country's best food writers. His opinions are as strong as his language, and his tastes as infectious as his joy." -Sam Sifton, New York Times Book Review

The only thing "gonzo gastronome" and internationally bestselling author Anthony Bourdain loves as much as cooking is traveling. Inspired by the question, "What would be the perfect meal?," Tony sets out on a quest for his culinary holy grail, and in the process turns the notion of "perfection" inside out. From California to Cambodia, A Cooks' Tour chronicles the unpredictable adventures of America's boldest and bravest chef.

Fans of Bourdain will find much to love in revisting this classic culinary and travel memoir.
