Today, June 25th, would have been Anthony Bourdain's 64th birthday. Bourdain and world renowned chef @jacquespepinfoundation were friends for over 25 years. ⁣
⁣
When asked about "Tony" as he called him, Pepin told KQED the following, "Watching his shows I would experience the culture of a country in a way I hadn’t known, in Vietnam or Lebanon or the Bronx. He revealed the food in such a way that it became a window into the people and their values and aspirations. And as we began to understand their food, we began to understand their culture."⁣
