1:11:24Now PlayingAnthony Bourdain changed how we think about food, travel, and life itself. But what was it really like to know him?
Laurie Woolever was Bourdain’s long-time assistant, collaborator, and friend — the person he called his “lieutenant”. She worked alongside him for nearly a decade, co-authored two books with him, and later published Bourdain: The Definitive Oral Biography after his tragic death in 2018.
In this conversation, Laurie joins Josh Szeps to reflect on life with Bourdain — his brilliance, his flaws, addiction, grief, and the lessons she learned about living (and losing) big.
