"Anthony Bourdain was beloved for his brutal honesty, dry humor, and impeccable taste in food. The chef, author, and television host - known for his long-running series "Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations" and other shows including "A Cook's Tour," "The Layover," and "Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown" - was an unmatched storyteller who celebrated diverse people and cultures, and particularly the food associated with them."
"Situated on Manhattan's Lower East Side, Katz's Delicatessen is a New York institution. First opened in 1888 by the Iceland brothers (and later acquired by the Katz family), it is known for its behemoth sandwiches stacked sky-high with mouth-watering deli meats like pastrami or corned beef. While many restaurant industry experts and layfolk alike flock to this iconic location ( one of the oldest delis in NYC) for their sandwiches and sides, there's another icon who was outspoken in his love for Katz's: Anthony Bourdain."
Anthony Bourdain combined brutal honesty, dry humor, and refined culinary judgment across careers as chef, author, and television host. He traveled globally for varied culinary experiences, from street-cart snacks in Vietnam to three-Michelin-star meals at Le Bernardin in New York. He celebrated diverse people, cultures, and the foods tied to them, becoming an influential storyteller and advocate for open-minded eating. He enjoyed both haute cuisine and unpretentious, classic eateries, favoring approachable, no-frills restaurants. Katz's Delicatessen in Manhattan exemplifies the old-school institutions he admired; opened in 1888, it is famed for pastrami and late-night service. His tastes spanned deli counters to Parisian bistros, reflecting a love for authenticity over formality.
