À propos de cet audio
Anthony Bourdain's long-time director and producer takes listeners behind the scenes to reveal the insanity of filming television in some of the most volatile places in the world and what it was like to work with a legend.
In the nearly two years since Anthony Bourdain's death, no one else has come close to filling the void he left. His passion for and genuine curiosity about the people and cultures he visited made the world feel smaller and more connected. Despite his affable, confident, and trademark snarky TV persona, the real Tony was intensely private, deeply conflicted about his fame, and an enigma even to those close to him. Tony’s devoted crew knew him best, and no one else had a front-row seat for as long as his director and producer, Tom Vitale.
Over the course of more than a decade traveling together, Tony became a boss, a friend, a hero and, sometimes, a tormentor. In the Weeds takes listeners behind the scenes to reveal not just the insanity that went into filming in some of the most far-flung and volatile parts of the world but what Tony was like unedited and off-camera. From the outside, the job looked like an all-expenses-paid adventure to places like Borneo, Vietnam, Iran, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Libya. What happened off-camera was far more interesting than what made it to air. The more things went wrong, the better it was for the show. Fortunately, everything fell apart constantly.

In an industry where celebrity chefs are known as much for their salty talk and quick tempers as their food, Eric Ripert stands out. The winner of four James Beard Awards, co-owner and chef of a world-renowned restaurant, and recipient of countless Michelin stars, Ripert embodies elegance and culinary perfection. But before the accolades, before he even knew how to make a proper hollandaise sauce, Eric Ripert was a lonely young boy in the south of France whose life was falling apart.

His phone number was passed around among those who wanted to curry favor, during the decades when restaurants replaced clubs and theater as, well, theater in the most visible, vibrant city in the world. Besides dropping us back into a vanished time, Your Table Is Ready takes us places we’d never be able to get into on our own.

In this captivating memoir, the man whom Julia Child has called "the best chef in America" tells the story of his rise from a frightened apprentice in an exacting Old World kitchen to an Emmy Award-winning superstar who taught millions of Americans how to cook and shaped the nation's tastes in the bargain. The Apprentice is the poignant and sometimes funny tale of a boy's coming of age. Beyond that, it is the story of America's culinary awakening and the transformation of food from an afterthought to a national preoccupation.

Great way to remember Tony
Even though I didn’t know Tony personally, his death was something that really hurt my heart. This book was a great way to remember Tony for the person he was, and the impact he made on the people around him. Thank you Tom for sharing your wonderful stories and memories and giving his audience a chance to remember and celebrate Tony.

Wonderfully detailed, reflective and heartfelt
Through this memoir, Tom takes us through a unique coming of age in television - a story of the misadeventures of a band of pirates told through the eyes of a former naval officer turned into an unsettling natural yet reluctant first mate. From drunkenly uncovering the diabolical schemes of Bond villains in Jamaica to a decent into bloody madness in the heart of Congo, this book is full of suprsises.
The behind the scenes view of years making of television with Tony is well told through Tom's eyes. Tom's unique voice comes through his writing in this book but it is so comfortablely familiar to anyone who also enjoys Anthony's writing, as if Tom was a long suppressed part Tony's psyche given life — Cautious, self-depricating and yet seemily hungry to live a life bathed in chaos.
I am a fan of Anthony's. His perspectives on our place in the world, on food and the time he gave to appreciate and present cultures played a role in my development and maturity as a somewhat functioning human being. I have been filled with swirl of emotions with every posthumous project that has been released or speculative article online rehashing something or other from his life. I typically shy away from these things. They've all been weird or controversial or too ready to provide their own conclusions. I bought this book out of curiosity hoping for a sincere telling of Anthony's stories. I have only just finished it and I am impressed with the perspectives offered. I am impressed by how much the writing moved me by not only Anthony's experiences but the perspectives of Tom and the crew who worked so closely with him for years. I am impressed by how careful, analytical and considerate the writing can be and yet leave things so equivocally. The book raises wonderfully ponderous questions, explores them in exquisite emotional detail and does the reader the service of leaving them there for personal contemplation.
I found more in this book than I was expecting.
For a fan of Anthony's, of his books and especially his television shows dating back to the first, this book is a welcome experience.

Worthwhile for Bourdain fans.
I was skeptical going in, but truly enjoyed the book. The author did a tremendous job in his storytelling. As a bourdain fan (I’ve watched all his shows and read all his books) I loved hearing the behind the scenes stuff. I also lost a very close friend suddenly in a similar way in 2015 and shared a lot of the sentiments that the author did from a grief and trying to put my feelings into focus. Thanks Tom.

Fascinating emotional and logistical insights from behind the scenes of life on the road with Tony. Reveals the challenges of collaborating with a complicated boss, friend, mentor and deep observer/thinker. Captured in an honest voice that helped provide a 360 degree view of their personal and professional explorations.

Special features/DVD extras for any Anthony Bourdain Fan
Looking over some of the reviews on Audible about this book, an individual would be forgiven for thinking that this is an alcohol-fueled “Animal House” memoir of Anthony Bourdain‘s various television shows. While there is an element of debauchery present in the pages/hours of this book, I have also come to appreciate the great humour, detail and reflection that is also present. Reading this book has made me want to revisit many episodes and enjoy them On a different level. Also, I appreciate how this book approaches one person struggle with grief over a friend/boss/mentor that has impacted a significant portion of his life.

A good book
I enjoyed this telling by Vitale. I’ve always enjoyed books describing behind the scenes and the work involved of production. The sad part of this, is that those closest to Bourdain never understood if he even liked them. After finishing this,I wonder if the myth of Tony was really due to his longtime successful tv production team who was able to make him prolific. Tony was a brilliant writer. But after this account it seemed he didn’t like being on camera, was becoming agoraphobic and suffering. What is alluded to was the cruelty of Argento, and Tony’s addiction to her. I want someone to write about that Hong Kong shoot where Asia had Tony fire his longtime camera person, Zach. And what actually happened in France. Anyone on Twitter/Instagram that evening before Tony died, saw how horrible their relationship had become. How she taunted and hurled abuse at him. That’s a story that needs to be told.

Essential reading for Bourdain superfans (like mel.
May be too niche for casual watchers of the show(s).
