YouTube Description
as posted by the channelAnthony 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.
