Anthony Bourdain’s Mother Gladys Bourdain Has Died | Eater
"A national magazine that published Anthony Bourdain’s 1999 essay "Don’t Eat Before Reading This," a piece that led quickly to a book deal for Kitchen Confidential and helped launch his literary and television career. Its editor at the time recalled being entertained and riveted by the piece and emphasized the significance of saying 'yes' to an unexpected new voice, making the magazine the pivotal platform that introduced him to a broad audience." - Caleb Pershan
