"Anthony Bourdain, the Leonia native with the French-sounding name, took a leave from his job as an executive chef at Brasserie Les Halles in New York City."

Anthony grew up living with both of his parents and described his childhood in one of his books: "I did not want for love or attention. My parents loved me. Neither of them drank to excess. Nobody beat me. God was never mentioned so I was annoyed by neither church nor any notion of sin or damnation."Bourdain, Anthony (2010). Medium Raw: A Bloody Valentine to the World of Food and the People Who Cook. Ecco Press, chapter 2 His father was Catholic of French descent and his mother was Jewish. Bourdain stated that, although he was considered Jewish by halacha's definition, "I've never been in a synagogue. I don't believe in a higher power. But that doesn't make me any less Jewish, I don't think." His family was not religious.{{cite web|url=http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/1309/22/abpu.02.html|title=Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown|publisher=CNN|access-date=July 7, 2014}}{{cite web |url=https://www.timesofisrael.com/anthony-bourdain-did-not-take-drugs-before-he-died-coroner/ |title=Anthony Bourdain did not take drugs before he died – coroner |last=A |first=JT |date=June 26, 2018 |website=timesofisrael |access-date=August 11, 2018}}

In 1998, Bourdain became an executive chef at Brasserie Les Halles. Based in Manhattan, at the time the brand had additional restaurants in Miami; Washington, D.C.; and Tokyo.

In the mid-1980s, Bourdain began submitting unsolicited work for publication to Between C & D, a literary magazine of the Lower East Side. The magazine eventually published a piece that Bourdain had written about a chef who was trying to purchase heroin in the Lower East Side. In 1985, Bourdain signed up for a writing workshop with Gordon Lish. In 1990, Bourdain received a small book advance from Random House, after meeting a Random House editor.

His first book, a culinary mystery called Bone in the Throat, was published in 1995. He paid for his own book tour, but he did not find success. His second mystery book, Gone Bamboo, also performed poorly in sales.

Bourdain hosted many food and travel series, including his first show, A Cook's Tour (2002 to 2003). He worked for The Travel Channel from 2005 to 2013. He also worked for CNN from 2013 to 2018. Bourdain described the concept as, "I travel around the world, eat a lot of shit, and basically do whatever the fuck I want."{{cite magazine |last=Keefe |first=Patrick Radden |title=Anthony Bourdain's Moveable Feast |url=https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/02/13/anthony-bourdains-moveable-feast |access-date=August 17, 2020 |magazine=The New Yorker |date=February 6, 2017}} Nigella Lawson noted that Bourdain had an "incredibly beautiful style when he talks that ranges from erudite to brilliantly slangy".

The acclaim surrounding Bourdain's memoir Kitchen Confidential led to an offer by the Food Network for him to host his own food and world-travel show, A Cook's Tour, which premiered in January 2002. It ran for 35 episodes, through 2003.{{cite web|url=http://www.newsweek.com/anthony-bourdain-celebrity-chef-and-tv-personality-died-age-61-966601|title=Chef and TV star Anthony Bourdain found dead at age 61|date=June 8, 2018|first=Ewan|last=Palmer|website=Newsweek|publisher=Newsweek LLC|access-date=June 8, 2018}}

In July 2005, he premiered a new, somewhat similar television series, Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations, on the Travel Channel. As a further result of the immense popularity of Kitchen Confidential, the Fox sitcom Kitchen Confidential aired in 2005, in which the character Jack Bourdain is based loosely on Anthony Bourdain's biography and persona.

In July 2006, he and his crew were in Beirut filming an episode of No Reservations when the Israel–Lebanon conflict broke out unexpectedly after the crew had filmed only a few hours of footage.{{cite interview |subject=Anthony Bourdain | url=http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0607/23/lkl.01.html | title=Twelve Days of Conflict Between Israel and Hezbollah | publisher=CNN |interviewer=Larry King | work=Larry King Live | date=July 23, 2006 | access-date=June 16, 2007| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20070612015938/http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0607/23/lkl.01.html| archive-date= June 12, 2007 | url-status=live}} His producers compiled behind-the-scenes footage of him and his production staff, including not only their initial attempts to film the episode, but also their firsthand encounters with Hezbollah supporters, their days of waiting for news with other expatriates in a Beirut hotel, and their eventual escape aided by a fixer (unseen in the footage), whom Bourdain dubbed Mr. Wolf after Harvey Keitel's character in Pulp Fiction. Bourdain and his crew were finally evacuated with other American citizens, on the morning of July 20, by the United States Marine Corps. The Beirut No Reservations episode, which aired on August 21, 2006, was nominated for an Emmy Award in 2007.{{cite web|url=http://www.emmyonline.org/mediacenter/_pdf/news_28th_nominees_all_rev3.pdf|title=Nominees for the News & Documentary Emmy Awards In 32 Categories Announced By NATAS|page=21|publisher=Emmyonline.org|access-date=March 13, 2011}}

The series ran for 20 episodes, through February 2013. Bourdain executive produced a similar show hosted by celebrities called The Getaway, which lasted two seasons on Esquire Network.

In May 2012, Bourdain announced that he was leaving the Travel Channel. In December, he explained on his blog that his departure was due to his frustration with the channel's new ownership using his voice and image to make it seem as if he were endorsing a car brand, and the channel's creating three "special episodes" consisting solely of clips from the seven official episodes of that season.{{cite web|url=http://anthonybourdain.tumblr.com/post/35577815503/fighting-mad|title=FIGHTING MAD|website=Anthony Bourdain|access-date=June 8, 2018}} He went on to host Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown for CNN.

In an assessment of Bourdain's life for The Nation, David Klion wrote that, "Bourdain understood that the point of journalism is to tell the truth, to challenge the powerful, to expose wrongdoing. But his unique gift was to make doing all that look fun rather than grim or tedious." According to Klion, Bourdain's shows "made it possible to believe that social justice and earthly delights weren't mutually exclusive, and he pursued both with the same earnest reverence".{{Cite news|last=Klion|first=David|date=June 8, 2018|title=What Bourdain Gave Us|language=en-US|work=The Nation|url=https://www.thenation.com/article/culture/bourdain-gave-us/|access-date=July 5, 2021|issn=0027-8378}}

Bourdain advocated for communicating the value of traditional or peasant foods, including all of the varietal bits and unused animal parts not usually eaten by affluent 21st-century Americans.Bourdain, Anthony (2006). The Nasty Bits. New York: Bloomsbury. He also praised the quality of freshly prepared street food in other countries—especially developing countries—compared to fast-food chains in the U.S.Bourdain, Anthony (2001). A Cook's Tour: In Search of the Perfect Meal. New York: Bloomsbury. Regarding Western moral criticism of cuisine in developing countries, Bourdain stated: "Let's call this criticism what it is: racism. There are a lot of practices from the developing world that I find personally repellent, from my privileged Western point of view. But I don't feel like I have such a moral high ground that I can walk around lecturing people in developing nations on how they should live their lives."{{cite web|url=https://reason.com/2016/12/29/anthony-bourdain/|title=Anthony Bourdain on Sichuan Peppers, Sex, Eating Dogs, and Political Correctness|first=Alexander|last=Bisley|work=Reason|date=December 29, 2016}}

With regard to criticism of the Chinese, Bourdain stated: "The way in which people dismiss whole centuries-old cultures—often older than their own and usually non-white—with just utter contempt aggravates me. People who suggest I shouldn't go to a country like China, look at or film it, because some people eat dog there, I find that racist, frankly. Understand people first: their economic, living situation." Regarding the myth that monosodium glutamate in Chinese food is unhealthy, Bourdain said: "It's a lie.

In an acceptance speech for an award given by the Muslim Public Affairs Council, Bourdain stated, "The world has visited many terrible things on the Palestinian people, none more shameful than robbing them of their basic humanity."
