Hey, hey, before we get to the show, we've got a quick ask for you.
If Pop Culture Happy Hour has ever helped you explain Barbenheimer, survive a Marvel phase,
or pretend you understood Severance, do us a favor and leave a five-star review.
Thanks so much.
Bourdain was a huge part of how people became fascinated by chefs and kitchens,
both the way that really high-end kitchens work and the way that kind of regular kitchens work.
And, you know, he did so much to make people interested in restaurants
that I think it's hard to imagine the bear, you know, existing without Bourdain having existed first.
Yeah, absolutely.
Well, most of us know Anthony Bourdain as the charismatic foodie
behind the book Kitchen Confidential and shows like No Reservations.
But before he was in the public eye, he was just Tony,
a wayward, overconfident young guy who was kind of a piece of work.
At least that's how he's portrayed in a new movie about his early life.
He's played by Dominic Sessa, and it focuses on the pivotal summer of 1975 when Bourdain worked in his first kitchen,
a tiny hole in the wall in Provincetown on Cape Cod.
